I'd probably do it just as swuehl says.
But just to toss out a different idea that isn't exactly what you asked for but is similar in flavor, sometimes I'll create a value of 'Total' in a field [Total] disconnected from my data set, then create cyclic group(s) with [Total] and whatever field(s) I might want to break that total down by in the chart(s). In this case, something like:
[Employees]: LOAD 'Employees' as [Employees] AUTOGENERATE 1;
And then create an EmployeeGroup with [Employees] and [Employee] and use the group as the dimension.
But it's a pivot table, so people will probably be more used to looking for the + button, and will know what it does where they won't know until they try it what clicking on the little cycle icon will do. So probably best to stick with just putting both fields in the pivot table. You could still leave [Employees] disconnected from the rest of your data model, though. A little more script, a tiny bit less memory used. I doubt speed would be any different either way, but I don't know. The 'Total' approach is really more for when you have more than one way you might want to break the data down by, or you might just want to look at the total.
