It depends on the nature of the employer, and the reason they are  
unable to join. Historically there have been Invited Experts in W3C  
Working Groups who are employed by such organizations as universities  
or small start-ups. We even have some in the HTML Working Group. So it  
would probably be more accurate to say "it depends" and that it may be  
subject to the judgment of the W3C Team.
