This Repository

public interface TaskRepository extends JpaRepository<Task, Integer>{
        public  List<Task> findByEmployee_EmployeeId(int id);

Please tell us how do you wire employeeRepository or taskRepository in the service? Which is row 101. — Lachezar Balev, Feb 13 '20 at 07:03
Have you Autowired EmployeeRepository within your EmployeeService class ? — Sachin, Feb 13 '20 at 07:06

It would be good if you have posted your related codes not just the doubted area seemed to you by chunk. Try @Autowired your service where you are using it and replace your method by this:

findByEmployeeId(Integer id);
