Iam using the below command to restore from my backup

restore database Employee_Master from disk='F:\SQL_BACKUP\employee_master_full.bak'

But it's giving error message !
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Msg 3159, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

The tail of the log for the database "Employee_Master" has not been backed up. Use BACKUP LOG WITH NORECOVERY to backup the log if it contains work you do not want to lose. Use the WITH REPLACE or WITH STOPAT clause of the RESTORE statement to just overwrite the contents of the log.
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.
