Multiple insert in one Query Laravel - php

Question

I have this two tables a User Table and the Attendance table, Here is what I want to do:
While inserting a User on the User table, the Attendance table will also be updated (the user_id of the User Table will be Inserted to the Attendance Table as a foreign key), the Primary key of my User table is Auto Increment, that's why I can't insert it manually to the Attendance Table, what should I do? Is there any cheat in laravel that can do this easily?
Here is my Controller for Register
public function register()
{
$myemployee=Employee::all();
return View::make('registration',compact('myemployee'));
}
public function registerEmp()
{
$input = Input::all();
$command = new Employee;
$command->firstname=$input['firstname'];
$command->lastname=$input['lastname'];
$command->position=$input['position'];
$command->save();
return Redirect::action('EmployeesController#register');
}
Here is my Migration
public function up()
{
Schema::create('employees',function($table)
{
$table->increments('id');
$table->text('firstname');
$table->text('lastname');
$table->text('position');
$table->timestamps();
});
public function up()
{
Schema::create('attendances', function(Blueprint $table)
{
$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('employees');
$table->timestamp('intime');
$table->timestamp('offtime');
});
}
Employee.php file
<?php
class Employee extends Eloquent
{
}
?>

You can get the last inserted ID in users table by assigning the return value of User::create(), which is a static Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model, to a variable, then use that variable to insert user_id in your attendances table.
Here is an example:
public function registerEmp() {
$input = Input::all();
// Create an employee.
$employee = Employee::create($input);
// Create an attendance entry as well.
Attendance::create([
'user_id'=>$employee->id,
// other columns...
]);
return Redirect::action('EmployeesController#register');}
