Just use the two templates I have posted, that way all elements are 
copied, only the Name child of Employ is changed.

I don't understand what <xsl:apply-templates select=" "/> would be good 
for, you either need to have <xsl:apply-templates/> with no select 
attribute or you need to select nodes, an empty select attribute value 
does not make sense.

I don't understand that either, so far I think your problem can be 
solved with the two templates I posted.

You can write templates for those elements that have contents e.g.
   <xsl:template match="instance[text()]">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>
and add another one doing nothing for those that do not have contents:
   <xsl:template match="instance[not(text())]"/>
