You are trying to convert div as datatable.

Add one class in table tag, which will represent your table. Let's add myDataTable in table tag.

var table_data = '<table class="myDataTable table table-bordered table-sm table-responsive table-striped table-hover">';

now, convert the table to Datatable by replacing your code 

 $('#employee_table').DataTable(); // employee_table is actually an id of div

to

$('.myDataTable').DataTable(); // class that added in table tag
