You can't add a query string (Something like ?x=yyy&vv=www) onto an include like that. Fortunately your includes have access to all the variables before them, so if $_GET['employeeId'] is defined before you call:

include 'customers.php';

Then customers.php will also have access to $_GET['employeeId'];
