Vector of pointers as a template argument

I'm doing this project to manage a bank and I'm trying to implement code to edit an employee object.

template <class val>
void Bank::updateVector(unsigned int ID, vector<val*> upVector, val* upValue)
{
  deleteByID(ID, upVector);
  upVector.push_back(upValue);
}

This is the call to the function:

employee *new_employee= new employee(name,birthDate,address,postalCode, NIF,  BI,  phone,  salary,  post,  qualifications, id);
updateVector(id,employees,new_employee);

I'm getting an undefined reference error:

undefined reference to `void Bank::updateVector<employee>(unsigned int, std::vector<employee*, std::allocator<employee*> >, employee*)'

Why is this happening?

Thank you for your help

Perhaps you did it already, but wanna make sure, this should be put in the header where your class is defined.

Im not too sure on this but i think this is happening because you created updateVector as a template yet, you didn't specify the class type

Im pretty sure it would be

updateVector <employee> (id, employees, new_employee);

Sorry if I got this wrong.
