Perhaps your program crashes before attempting the write since you are likely trying to write a string into a single character? For example,

        char emp_name_f;
     scanf("%s",&emp_name_f);

Trying to put 10 pounds of **** in a 1-pound bag. :P

You need to know what a string is before attempting to read one. A string is an array of characters ending with a null terminator. To read one, you'll need a char array.
