What you could do is something like this:
public class Employee {
    @PrimaryKey
    @Persistent(valueStrategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.INCREMENT)
    private Long id;

    @Persistent private String department;
    @Persistent private String firstName;
    @Persistent private String lastName;

}
start with id 1, and goes on untill they have reached 2^32 - 1.
Should do the trick.
