I just upgraded to QB Desktop Plus 2023 and I also get those 3 phantom employees on those two reports.  It seems all the other reports in that file are correct.  Prior to upgrading I was using BigRed's fix (for the last 3 years) and it was working just fine.  Now I'm not able to use those reports again.  It's ridiculous that Intuit hasn't fixed this problem yet.  Sigh..........
