XSLT 3.0 evaluate into variable

For the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pi:Payroll_Extract_Employees xmlns:pi="urn:com.workday/picof">
   <pi:company>
      <pi:employee>
         <pi:name>John Andrews</pi:name>
         <pi:age>23</pi:age>
         <pi:salary>4000</pi:salary>
         <pi:division>Accounting</pi:division>
      </pi:employee>
   </pi:company>
</pi:Payroll_Extract_Employees>

I use this XSL to store the value in a variable using xsl:evaluate and then output the value from name node that is stored in in $names ("John Andrews"):

<xsl:stylesheet version="3.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 

xmlns:pi="urn:com.workday/picof">
        <xsl:output method="text"/>
            <xsl:template match="pi:Payroll_Extract_Employees/pi:company">
                <xsl:variable name="test">
                <xsl:text>pi:employee/pi:name</xsl:text>
            </xsl:variable>
                <xsl:variable name="names" as="element(name)*">
                <xsl:evaluate xpath="$test" context-item="."/>
            </xsl:variable>
                <xsl:value-of select="$names"/>
            </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>

With the namespace declaration you have the type annotation of the variable needs to be

    <xsl:variable name="names" as="element(pi:name)*">
        <xsl:evaluate xpath="$test" context-item="."/>
    </xsl:variable>
