I think it may be the syntax Employees.PARENT(ITEM(Employees))], is it looking for a list item named PARENT(ITEM(Employees)), not the actual parent?

I believe you have to take a two stage approach
[list=1]
Create a new line item in target cube called 'Parent Employees'' formula PARENT(ITEM(Employees)) (format is the list Employees)
Use the formula target_lineitem=source_lineitem[LOOKUP: Parent Employees]
