First off, I am using a hash.
$pass = md5($pass);

An unsalted MD5 hash doesn't offer much protection:

check whether username and / or password is correct and redirecting to appropriate page

As I said, use two steps:

1) Validate the username and password:
SQL
SELECT 
    u.empl_first, 
    u.username, 
    u.empl_first +' '+ u.empl_last as fullname, 
    e.Department, 
    e.UnitName, 
    e.empnum 
FROM 
    users u 
    INNER JOIN Employee e 
    ON u.Employee_Id = e.EmpNum 
WHERE 
    u.USERNAME = ? 
And 
    u.PASSWORD = ?

If no data is returned, then the username or password is invalid.


2) Check whether the user has completed the test:
SQL
SELECT Employee_Id FROM tblTBA WHERE Employee_Id = ?

If no data is returned, then the user has not taken the test.


NB: If the Employee record doesn't get created until the user has taken the test, then you'll need to move that part of the query from step 1 to step 2.
