What are the actual attributes of the Employeeto do with database foreign keys in an entity class?

I know that an attribute defines the state of thean object. So, is it correct way to keep attributes that doesn'tdon't define the state of thean object in theof a class?

For example, I have aan Employee Classclass, which havehas these attributes like:

emp_id, fname, lname, mname, salary, mobile, email, gender, maritalstatus, position, birthdate, hiredate, dept_id, address_id, bank_id.

The dept_id, address_id and bank_id are foreign keys. Now my actual question is can we include attributes like bank_id, address_id and dept_id into Employee class because they are not actually showing exact behavior of Employee Class? Instead can I make another class named EmployeeForeignKeys and keep these attributes bank_id, address_id, dept_id in that class?
