Since the number of employees must be a whole number, the costs are never exactly equal for any integer number of employees. The closest integer value is $ \boxed{16} $ (since $ \frac{50}{3} \approx 16.67 $), but strictly speaking, no integer satisfies exact equality. However, the exact value is $ \boxed{\frac{50}{3}} $.
