    I would rather try this:

             insert into Tbl_EmpMovement_T values (
        '004101',
        '2011-8-26',
        CAST ('2011-8-26' + ' ' +
   (  SUBSTRING('16:02',0, PATINDEX('%:%', '16:02')+1)) + 
    ( SUBSTRING('16:02',PATINDEX('%:%', '16:02')+1, 2)) AS datetime),
         CAST ('2011-8-26' + ' ' +
   (  SUBSTRING('16:02',0, PATINDEX('%:%', '16:02')+1)) + 
    ( SUBSTRING('16:02',PATINDEX('%:%', '16:02')+1, 2)) AS datetime)
  )

    This way, you wont have a problem when the time part moves between single and double digit hours.
