You don't need the </br> (correct would be <br/>, or <br>for HTML5). I tried to make a simple solution with jQuery. where you simply display or not the content you want.

Hope it is what you were looking for.

body {
    margin: 0;
}

ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    /*width: 15%;*/
    background-color: #f1f1f1;
    /*position: fixed;*/
    height: 100%;
    overflow: auto;
}

li a {
    display: block;
    color: #000;
    padding: 8px 0 8px 16px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

li a.active {
    background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;
}

li a:hover:not(.active) {
    background-color: #555;
    color: white;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
    <li>
        <a class="active" href="#">HOME</a>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="#" onclick="$('ul#contentUsers').toggle();">Manage Users</a>
        <ul id="contentUsers" style="display: none;">
          <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>        
    <li>
        <a href="#" onclick="$('ul#contentEmployees').toggle();">Manage Employees</a>
        <ul id="contentEmployees" style="display: none;">
          <li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
          <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="#">Search</a>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="#">Log-Out</a>
    </li>
</ul>
