You've said what is the same between emp and employee. So what is different
between emp and employee? In general, you cannot call the instance methods of
one class for another class, only class methods. Depending on what you are
trying to do, emp can inherit from employee or there is only the employee
controller and routes map the emp requests onto the employer controller.
