The problem gets more interesting ;-)

Where you have...

ParamByName('EMPLOYEE').Value := gsEmpID;

can you try

ParamByName('EMPLOYEE').AsString := gsEmpID;

(I am presuming gsEmpID is a string value.)
I have an inate distrust of Delphi variant types, and the .Value
property uses variants.

Also; Any character sets involved?
