Taking a look at the getline prototype, you'll see that you need two things:

1. An istream object
2. A string to for the result
3. (optionally) the "new line" delimiter (default is '\n'.

In your case, it seems that the delimiter might be the default: '\n'; if not, you can specify what character separates each value (maybe it's a space ' ' or something). The cin stream would be you istream object, and each of the properties of employees[count] will serve as the second parameter. In summary, getline(cin, employees[count].name); should do the trick.
