It won't work, and if you think about that syntax, it make sense that it wouldn't. You're asking the cfquery tag to evaluate the query name to be a string called "var getEmployees" which you can't do. I don't really see the scoping issue as a big deal. I've used CFCs now for well over a year, and, while it takes a bit to get used to with regard to var scoping *all* your local vars, it's not such a big deal. I would bet big money that there's no way Macromedia would change the default scoping of variables at this point, if anything for backwards-compatiblity. Also, on a personal level, if changes are going to be made to CFCs, I'd rather see the focus of the engineers' effort be on other features like interfaces rather than this.
