Look, I hate to post a grammar nitpick, but the rule is very simple. An apostrophe *never* indicates a plural. Ever. So don't put it before an s when something is in plural form (employee singular -> employees plural). If you need to indicate a possesive plural (the employees' lunches), the apostrophe goes after the s.
This post was brought to you by the society for the preservation of apostrophes. Let's not waste the precious apostrophes we have. Will nobody think of the children?
