Here is how you can create simple view:

from rest_framework import status, response
from rest_framework import generics

class EmployeeExistView(generics.GenericAPIView):
   serializer_class = None

   def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
       employee = Employee.objects.filter(id=kwargs.get('id'))
       if employee.exists():
           return response.Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
       return response.Response(status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND)
