What's wrong with my badge script?

[62penguins]

I have a script that awards players badges for the first time they join, and the first time they join after becoming an employee. Here’s my script:

local previouslyJoined = false
	local success, result = pcall(function()
		previouslyJoined = BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(player.UserId, youJoinedBadge)
	end)
	
	if not success then
		print(result)
	elseif not previouslyJoined then
		local success, result = pcall(function()
			BadgeService:AwardBadge(player.UserId, youJoinedBadge)
			print("you joined awarded")
		end)
		if not success then
			print(result)
		end
	elseif previouslyJoined then
		print("previously joined")
	end
	
	if player:GetRankInGroup(11635716) >= 3 then
		print("high enough rank")
		local hasEmployee = false
		local success, result = pcall(function()
			hasEmployee = BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(player.UserId, employeeBadge)
		end)

		if not success then
			print(result)
		elseif not employeeBadge then
			local success, result = pcall(function()
				BadgeService:AwardBadge(player.UserId, employeeBadge)
				print("employee awarded")
			end)
			if not success then
				print(result)
			end
		elseif hasEmployee then
			print("has employee")
		end
	end

It will award the joining badge, but it won’t award the employee badge, even though it says I am high enough rank. Why is this happening?

elseif not employeeBadge then

You’re checking the badge id, not the boolean hasEmployee
