i think the error  related with auth definition is not found, perhaps 
because you define the employee table first and then (or not) auth 
definition.
pls try :

db = DAL(lazy_tables=True)

from gluon.tools import Auth, Service, PluginManager, prettydate
auth = Auth(db, host_names = myconf.get('host.names') )

auth.define_tables(username = False, signature = True)

db.define_table('employee',
            Field('fullname','string',label='Name'),
            Field('email','string'),
            Field('phone','string'),
            Field('kids', 'string'),
            Field('phone', 'string'),
            #Field('date','datetime'),
            Field('dob', 'datetime', label='Date'),
            Field('department', 'reference department',
                  requires=IS_IN_DB(db, db.department.id, 
'%(department_name)s')),
            auth.signature,
            format='%(fullname)s'

            )
db = DAL(lazy_tables=True)
db.define_table('department',
            Field('department_name', 'string', label='Department Name'),
            # Field('department_name', 'string', label='Department Name'),
            Field('manager', 'reference employee', required='true',
                  requires=IS_IN_DB(db, db.employee.id, '%(fullname)s')),
            auth.signature,
            format='%(department_name)s'
            )

as you can see on the example above, you define the db first, then the 
auth, after that pls proceed with another table you want to have in your 
apps.

best regards,
