123    | 0151450  | 07/OCT/17    |
234    | 0151450  | 14/OCT/17    |
345    | 0151460  | 10/OCT/17    |
456    | 0151466  | 05/OCT/17    |

456    | 0151466  | 05/OCT/17    | 1          |
567    | 0151466  | 01/OCT/17    | 2          |
-----------------------------------------------
Use the Windowing Function ROW_NUMBER().

SELECT SLIPNO, EMPNO, DT, 
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY EMPNO ORDER BY DT ASC) AS SLIPNUMBER
FROM SLIPS;


DB Fiddle Test to show an example.

Also note that you should not use DATE as a column name, as it is a reserved word.
