Answer 1

http://www.jotform.com/pricing

Jotform is one of the similar services i like. Using a web-based solution is cost-effective and you can use them right away you start a membership.

Answer 2

http://wufoo.com is another one of those form building services you could consider. Though depending on the data you are collecting you might want to really consider if a public form hosted by someone else is acceptable for the data.

Answer 3

Since you've tagged .NET and Forms. Why not make a simple "one page" web form with all the required fields. Have it punch the information into a database (SQLCE, SQL Server, MS Access< Etc).

Host it on a local server running IIS. pass the URL out to the employees, and have them punch in their own data.

From there you can simply hand the raw data over to HR in a spreadsheet, or if you're feeling ambitious, write a small reporting app for data mining.
