It's the first time I use Subsonic.
Let say I have those classes :
public class Store
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public String Name { get; set; }
}
public class Employee
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public String Name { get; set; }
}
An employee is related to a store with is hired date. This means that in the database I will have a middle table With StoreId, EmployeeId, StartDate, EndDate
An employee can work to the StoreA from 2009-01-01 to 2009-04-04 and work for StoreB from 2009-04-05 to ... And I don't want that my data table repeat all the information of my employee each time an employee change the store he working for. In this example employee have only a name, but lets say an employee got 10 property (adress, age, gender ...)
How could I achieve that ?

You'll actually need a many-to-many relationship which will join an Employee record to a Store Record, with a payload of Start and End Dates.
The Objects will look like this:
public class Store
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public String Name { get; set; }
}
public class Employee
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public String Name { get; set; }
public IList<EmploymentTerm> EmploymentTerms { get; set; }
}
public class EmploymentTerm
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public Store Store { get; set; }
public Employee Employee { get; set; }
public DateTime? StartDate { get; set; }
public DateTime? EndDate { get; set; }
}
Did this freehand so there could be a couple errors.

Based on your comment and the updated question it looks like you want something like the following:
public class Store
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public String Name { get; set; }
}
public class StoreEmployee
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public Employee Employee { get; set; }
public Store Store { get; set; }
public DateTime HiredDate { get; set; }
}
public class Employee
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public String Name { get; set; }
}
