Sounds like a homework problem to me. The formula for percentage of total is:

=a1/$a$25

where a1 is the, in your example, total for an employee, and a25 is the grand
total. Format this cell as a percent.

The $ makes the reference absolute -- meaning it will not change when you copy
the formula. This allows you to copy down the formula, and it will work for all
other employee totals.
