assuming this: 01E000036841 is an employee id and the files are named <something>.dat
Code:
ls *.dat | read header dummy
# save copies of header
head -1 $header > tmp

awk '{ if (index($0, "HEADER") > 0 || index($0, "TRAILER") >0 ) {last= $0; continue}
       arr[$0]++; print $0   }
       END { for (i in arr) 
             {
               empcnt++ 
               lc+=arr[i]
             } 
             print empcnt, lc > "cntfile" }  ' *.dat >> tmp
awk ' { rec=sprintf("%08d%08d", $1 $2)}
         END { printf("BATCH TRAILER %s%s\n", rec, substr(last, length(last)-7) } ' cntfile >> tmp
mv tmp employee.dat

This also assumes the last eight characters of BATCH TRAILER are all the same.
