> You input an employee id and his name comes up in the top frame.

As usual, a URL would say more than a thousand words, though in this case,
constructing a demo page might take quite some work (if this is really an
intranet application and cannot be disclosed to the public).

> In the same frame there's a row of hyperlinks. Contact info, employment
> history, Qualifications, etc

You can use links there, or you could make them submit buttons. The latter
might be technically easier.

> The employee ID would need to be passed for each of the links in order
> for the asp page to be able to bring up the right information.

Then you can encode the employee ID into the URLs for the links; something
like

employee.asp?e_num=6&ID=42

The code that handles clicking on an employer name needs to retrieve the ID
anyway, and then it should include it into the code that it generates.

(Note: In HTML, the "&" needs to be encoded as "&".)
