You want a user to enter the number of employees and an array with that number of elements? That should be easy enough.
There are a number of options. You could use traditional dynamic memory allocation or alternatively a container class like vector. I'm going to assume you've not learnt the latter so you know anything about dynamic memory allocation (new/delete)? If the size of an array is not determinable when writing the program you can use new to allocate memory. The only thing is (unless you're using a pointer class like auto_ptr or something), you're going to have to delete the memory at the end of your program:
int *employee_numbers;
int num_employees;
std::cout<< "How many employees? ";
std::cin >> num_employees;
employee_numbers = new int[num_employees];
// fill the array
delete [] employee_numbers;
Or did I completely misinterpret your question?
>> Could I put that user entered number into an array? If so how?
I think I might have.
int nums[5];
int num;
std::cout<< "Enter num: ";
std::cin >> num;
nums[0] = num;
nums[1] = 42;
// etc
std::cout<< nums[0];
