Skipping input?

Major Tom Servo (4)
(Sorry for making another thread, Im doing a bit of catch up tonight)

Im working on this code, and it's not nearly done, but I like to check how certian things work as I go along. When I execute this, it outputs the menu, lets me select '1' and lets me input the employee name. After that, it skips all the other inputs, and I dont know why. The code's a bit of a hot mess now, but this one thing is bugging me. Here it is:

Any help would be great, I'm really stuck here. Thank you.

Hate to bump, but I really need something to go on, even if it's just a general direction.

Have you tried to use a line such as cin.clear(); or cin.ignore(80,'\n'); after the cin prompts?
Also I notice you don't have a break statement at the end of the first case in your switch block. I know you don't have more cases yet, but don't forget the break statements at the end of cases when you add more. I've done that plenty of times.

have you tried cin.sync () before cin >> ?
