Is there a way to create a new admin account and access the data \ recover the data? Command and r brings up the recovery console, but the utilities option is not present.
Command and s does not bring up the utility to create the admin account.

Without the FileVault password, there is not much you can do.
It encrypts all the data.

Unless you get the password or recovery key somehow. you have to erase the entire disk to be able to use the mac.

You will have to seek the assistance of the Former employee.
The purpose of Filevault is to prevent unauthorized access .
To avoid being in this situation again, consider setting up MDM for your employees.
Or have an admin user account for the business IT staff and a standard user account for the employee.
