First and foremost I would recommend you use std::string, which does
exactly what you want, but safely!
have a look here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/string/string/

Second... if you have to use your own unsafe character buffers...
which you really should not do and you should regard this as an FYI
only:
Deleting NULL will always work. So set your fname and lname to NULL in
case you don't use any first+last names.

change to
CEmployee::Cemployee(int s) : salery(s), fname(NULL), lname(NULL) { }

> CEmployee::~CEmployee(void)
> {
>         if(!IsBadStringPtr(fname, 25))
>         {
>                 delete [] fname;
>                 delete [] lname;

change to
CEmployee::~CEmployee() {
delete[] fname; // it's ok if pointer is NULL
delete[] lname;
}
