Thank you very much James. With your help I figured it out. 😀

I created a True/False field and called it “view_profile”, and added this block of code into my array in the acf.php file:

array (
     'key' => 'field_57467a65db91f',
      'label' => 'View Profile',
      'name' => 'view_profile',
      'type' => 'true_false',
      'message' => 'Show biography?',
      'default_value' => 0,
),

This displays the checkbox option in the backend.

Finally, I used conditional statements to determine if a user wants to link a profile or not in my archive-employee.php.

<div class="entry-content">

    <?php

    while($employee->have_posts())
    {
        $employee->the_post();
        ?>
		<div class="team-roster">
		<?php if ( get_field( 'view_profile' ) ): ?>
			  <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($id); ?>">
                <div class="title"><?php echo get_field('name', $id); ?></div>
				<div class="subtitle"><?php echo get_field('job_title', $id); ?></div>	
				<div class="button">View Profile</div>
			  </a>
			
			<?php else : ?>	
			<a href="#">
                <div class="title"><?php echo get_field('name', $id); ?></div>
				<div class="subtitle"><?php echo get_field('job_title', $id); ?></div>	
			</a>
							
				<?php endif; ?>
                <img src="<?php echo get_field('employee_featured_image', $id); ?>" alt="<?php echo the_title(); ?>" />
				<img src="<?php echo get_field('employee_featured_image_hover' ,$id); ?>" alt="<?php echo the_title(); ?>"  />
        </div>
        <?php
    }

    ?>
</div>

Awesome!
