Something like...

overlay unique
unique_base "ou=data,dc=SUFFIX"
unique_attributes employeeNumber
#unique_ignore objectClass ou o dc

...and...

man slapo-unique

The last line
unique_ignore objectClass ou o dc
is not mandatory, but I've seen a line along those lines in many 
examples on the net.
Leave it out if you don't understand its meaning...
