Class references are, but if you have a pointer to a class, it assumes that the type is exactly that type and determines its function calls at compile time rather than at runtime.
Actually, a pointer to a class is really a pointer to a reference to an object, since the reference is always with a class type. So "employee *" is in reality a pointer to a reference to an employee object.
