<?php 
// My array with employees
// sample purpose only
$arr_array  = array();

for( $i = 0; $i < 10; $i++ ) {

$arr_array[$i] = $i+1;

}

$columns    = 3;                                                  // employees pr. row
$amount     = count($arr_array);                                  // employees total
$amount_td  = $columns * (ceil( $amount / $columns )) - $amount;  // empty rows to create
$i          = 0;
$j          = 1;

$output.= '<table cellpadding="50" cellspacing="10" border="1">
<tr>';

foreach( $arr_array as $key => $value ) {

if ( $i >= $columns ) {
        $output .= '</tr><tr>';
        $i = 0;
    }

if ( $j <= $columns ) {

$class = 'first';

} else if ( (($amount+$amount_td)-$j) < $columns ) {

$class = 'last';

} else {

$class = '';

}

$output.= '<td class="' . $class . '">' . $value . '</td>';
    $i++;
    $j++;

}

for( $i = 0; $i < $amount_td; $i++ ) {
    $output.= '<td class="last">&nbsp;</td>';
}

$output .= '</tr>
</table>';
