Start by creating a cursor with all the fields and a new field called RECTYPE. For each employee, add the record to the cursor four times ... setting the RECTYPE to "1", "2", "3" and "4" for each record respectively.
When you design the report, setup a group on RECTYPE and mark it start each group on a new page. Now expand the detail band to the size of a page (minus any header or footer allowances). Add all the fields you want on the first page, setting the "Print When" logic to RECTYPE = "1" for all fields. Next, add all the fields for the second page on top of the first set, and set their Print When logic to RECTYPE = "2" and keep going for all four pages.
To make it easier to layout, I usually add the fields for the first page then highlight them all and use the Format - Group option to link them all together. Then I open up a new report and add all the fields for the second page. Group them together. Then copy and paste them to the first report. Keep doing this until you have all the "chunks" on the main report. I find it's much easier to deal with the data this way instead of trying to design the report with fields on top of fields.
