Assuming that your employee objects in your session are in the following format array('Employee.id' => 'Employee.name') you can populate the selectbox with the following statement in your views: $this->Form->select('employees', $employees) (where $employees is an array formatted as above).

See also http://book.cakephp.org/view/1430/select for more info on the syntax of the select box.
