Solved:

The following line was missing which closes the </li> tags.

      statusHTML += employee.name + '</li>';

I think I was also not selecting the employeeList porperly. I had to add a '#' symbol in it.

And I debugged it by re-watching the video again. (not the best way but it worked for this time)
