the xml contains the employer data and some general info (once) and the data

</employer>
<general>
<date-printed>14-08-2003</date-printed>
... [ some other info ]
</general>
<employee ref="0000001">
<name>...</name>
...
</employee>
...
Now, what happens is that the data from the employer-element and the
general-element appear untagged in the .fo, right between the <fo:flow> and
the first <fo:block> (actually it's a <fo:table>).
Sounds like you have something like
<xsl:template match="parent-of-employer-and-general-and-employees">
<fo:flow>
<xsl:apply-templates>
</fo:flow>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="employee">
...
You probably want the first template to be
<xsl:template match="parent-of-employer-and-general-and-employees">
<fo:flow>
<xsl:apply-templates select="employee">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

See
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#built-in-rule
why this is so.
Another weird detail (maybe there's a perfectly valid explanation): although
the xslt and xml have the "ISO-8859-1" encoding, the resulting .fo is
"UTF-8"-encoded.
Why do you think this is weird? Read what the spec tells you about
the default output encoding:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-XML-Output-Method
For these kind of questions, reagarding pure XSLT, you should ask on
the XSL list:
