Employee of the Month EP is the third EP released by Relient K. Tracks 1 and 2 are from the band's subsequent third album, Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do. Track 6 is from the band's second album, The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek.

The packaging depicts each member of Relient K as an employee of the month. Matt Thiessen, Matt Hoopes, Dave Douglas and Brian Pittman for May, June, July and August accordingly. The album cover shows Aaron Marrs, a friend of the band, as the Employee of the Month for September.<ref name="Aaron Marrs Benefit 2005 ">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Marrs was a part of the design and/or layout of many of the album covers for the band, including this EP's cover and the cover of Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do.<ref name="Aaron Marrs Benefit 2005 " /> He died in January 2005, and therefore, Relient K dedicated the Apathetic EP to him. <ref name="Aaron Marrs Benefit 2005 " />
