linking two tables

Hi, 

I want two link two table.

Table1:
Month, Employee Id, Country, Age,  Region

Table2:

Submitted date, Recipient Id, Recipient Country, Recipient Age, Recipient Region, Submitter Id, Submitter Age, Submitter Country,Submitter Region

I have to calculate KPI on both Submitter and Recipient separately. Employee ID and Submitter Id and Recipient ID will have similar values.

Table1 is like total headcount data. And Table 2 is like part of people involve from that data.

i want to join both tables. But if i join with Employee ID from table 1 and Recipient ID then data will come wrong for Submitter KPI and if i join Employee ID and Submitter ID then Recipient data will come wrong.  As one submitter can give value to more than one Recipient.

Someone suggested me to use flags. But I am not sure how to use. Please suggest.
