In general, yes, that would be ok. Currently the Employee finder must be on
the raw primary key of the Department. The CMP engine used to support
finders on real entity references, but that was removed. I am hoping to be
able to get that back however.

Yes, and this is what Department.getEmployees() could/should do.
