use wbraganca\dynamicform\DynamicFormWidget;

/* @var $this yii\web\View */
/* @var $model backend\models\CreateClient1 */
/* @var $form yii\widgets\ActiveForm */
?>

<div class="create-client1-form">

   <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin(['id' => 'dynamic-form']); ?>

    <?= Html::activeHiddenInput($model, 'client_code', ['value' => rand(1,100000000000000)]) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'company_name')->textInput(['maxlength' => true]) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'emp_email')->textInput(['maxlength' => true]) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'emp_mobile')->textInput(['maxlength' => true]) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'emp_first_name')->textInput(['maxlength' => true]) ?>

    <?= $form->field($model, 'emp_last_name')->textInput(['maxlength' => true]) ?>

Try this:

public function actionCreate()
    {
        $model = new CreateClient1();
        $employee = new Employee();


        if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post())) 
        {
            $model->save();

            /*add same field in employee table*/
            $employee->attributes = $model->attributes;
            $employee->save();

            return $this->redirect(['view', 'id' => $model->id]);
        } else 
        {
            return $this->render('create', [
                'model' => $model,
                'employee' => $employee,
            ]);
        }
    }
