No, an employee ID is just a label; in this case being numeric means it can be stored and used more efficiently in a computer, or it can be used as a count of the number of employees a company has employed:each new employee needs a unique employee ID (to avoid details getting mixed up) and so starting with 1 for the first employee and always adding one to the last employee number used it counts the number of people the company has employed since it began the employee id sequence.

To get your TIN if your ID was lost, just call the trunkline of the the BIR. Here in the Philippines, the number is (02) 9817000. You will be directed to a BIR employee and he/she will ask you some information such as your name and birthday. Then, you will have your TIN after you have provided the necessary information. It would take only a few minutes.
If the employee number is a numeric field, you could randomly generate a number in a range and use it as a replacement for the original number. Keep in mind though that if the employee number is a primary key, you must generate unique replacements and that gets tricky. If the idea is to protect identity, you may want to look at masking other attributes like first name, last name, address, email, phone number, etc., By masking many attributes you make it harder for anyone to know the original identity.
