I do not know of a way to generate "the same Admin Controller" for
another model.
But you can always have two different controllers (and then manually merge them
somehow):

   c:\rails_app>ruby script/generate scaffold Employee
''admin/employee''
     dependency  model
      exists    app/models/
      exists    test/unit/
      exists    test/fixtures/
      ....
      ....

and then 

  c:\rails_app>ruby script/generate scaffold Salary
''admin/salary''
    dependency  model
      exists    app/models/
      exists    test/unit/
      exists    test/fixtures/
      ....
      ....

      create  app/views/layouts/salary.rhtml
  overwrite public/stylesheets/scaffold.css? [Ynaq] y
      force  public/stylesheets/scaffold.css
      ....

Note that you have to be careful with it trying to overwrite scaffold.css if you
have modified it
in any way. Doing it this way will allow you to do the following for the
Employee admin:

  http://localhost:3000/admin/employee/new

and, this for the Salary admin:

  http://localhost:3000/admin/salary/new

I am not a Rails guru, so I am pitching this over to the Rails ML in case
someone has a better
solution.
