To map an association between two entities, the foreign key can not also be the primary key.

What you really have here is a TPT inheritance. You have a "base" class, plus optional additional properties in a second table (or view).

Make the "view" entity inherit from the Employee entity. Remove the EmployeeID property from the view entity. Map the EmployeeID column of the View to the ID property of the base Employee. You will get a single ObjectSet in your ObjectContext for this hierarchy.
