Display aligned columns

I am learning C ++. I have a problem formatting the output of my program. I would like to print columns that match perfectly, but so far I cannot do this, here is my code:

int main()
{
    employee employees[5];

    employees[0].setEmployee("Stone", 35.75, 053);
    employees[1].setEmployee("Rubble", 12, 163);
    employees[2].setEmployee("Flintstone", 15.75, 97);
    employees[3].setEmployee("Pebble", 10.25, 104);
    employees[4].setEmployee("Rockwall", 22.75, 15);

    printEmployees(employees, 5);

    return 0;
}

// print the employees in my array
void printEmployees(employee employees[], int number)
{
    int i;

    for (i=0; i<number; i++) {
        employees[i].printEmployee();// this is the method that give me problems
    }
    cout << "\n";
}

class employee I have a print employee method:

void printEmployee() const
{
    cout << fixed;
    cout << surname << setw(10) << empNumber << "\t" << setw(4) << hourlyRate << "\n";
}

The problem is that when printing the line "flinstones" the emp number and speed do not line up. something like that:

Stone 43 35.750000
Rubble 163 12.000000
Flintstone 97 15.750000
Pebble 104 10.250000
Rockwall 15 22.750000

Can someone help me? (I tried to add tabs .. but that didn't help)
