You could set up a single access point for all to use and then have your 
employees use some sort of VPN tunnel back to the office network.  Or if 
wireless has VLAN support (not sure?) then you could potentially use 
wireless VLANs.  Your method is the simplest though, and with hardware 
prices so cheap, there's really no good reason to not do it how you suggest.
