    Part of the problem is you are using wrong syntax. In SQL-Server 2005 you cannot use commas , between the values statements. You have to specify each INSERT INTO....VALUES... statement. And then in your second INSERT you do not have the correct number of parameters:

    BEGIN TRANSACTION AddEmployees
   INSERT INTO Employees
      VALUES(N'595002', N'John Meah', N'20000212', 32.25)

    INSERT INTO Employees
      VALUES(N'928375', N'Chuck Stansil', N'20080628', null)

    INSERT INTO Employees
      VALUES(N'792764', N'Orlando Perez', N'20000616', 12.95)
   COMMIT TRANSACTION AddEmployees;
GO
