odd form field behavior when implementing auth

[Ben W.]

hello -

I am trying to figure out why a form page for login refuses to display
a field with the name employee_id.

code is as follows:

model:
class User extends AppModel {
    var $useTable = 'employees';
    var $primaryKey = 'employee_id';
}

controller:
class UsersController extends AppController {

        var $name = 'Users';
        var $helpers = array('Html', 'Form');
        var $components = array('Auth');

        function beforeFilter() {
            Security::setHash("md5");
            $this->Auth->fields = array('password' =>
'employee_password','username' => 'employee_id');
            $this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users',
'action' => 'login');
            $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' =>
'dashboard', 'action' => 'index');
            $this->Auth->loginError = 'No username and password was
found with that combination.';
            $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = '/';

        }

        function login() {

        }

        function logout() {
            $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
        }
}

view:
    $session->flash('auth');
    echo $form->create('User', array('action' => 'login'));
    echo $form->input('employee_id');
    echo $form->input('employee_password');
    echo $form->end('Login');


Yet the result is http://dl.dropbox.com/u/178319/cake-arg.jpeg

Any ideas why it refuses to show the input form field employee_id ?

Thanks
