Employee Management System 🏢

An Employee Management System built using Spring Boot technologies, Thymeleaf views, JPA, MySQL Database, and more. The project features Spring Model, View, and Controller (MVC) architecture and Service and Repository layers.

This project is built for the intention of keeping track of employees within a company. The manager is able to add, delete, and update employees and input employee data based on their name, position, and manager. This application can be modified to include more information. The list of employees is able to be sorted based on name, position, and manager (in ascending or descending order), and the list is divided into 10 employee each pages to organize the application. The system uses a MySQL Database to store the employee data.
