Database Integration

The application uses SQL as the backend database to store employee information. The conn.java file manages the connection to the SQL database, ensuring secure and efficient data transactions. Each feature (add, view, update, remove) interacts with the database to perform the required operations.

• Database Setup: Ensure that you have a running SQL database and update the connection details in the conn.java file.
• Database Operations: The application performs CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on the employee data stored in the SQL database.

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Implement different user roles (e.g., Admin, Manager, Employee) with specific permissions and access levels.
• Employee Attendance Tracking: Add functionality to track and manage employee attendance, including clock-in and clock-out times.
• Performance Reviews: Include a module for conducting and storing performance reviews and feedback for employees.
• Payroll Management: Integrate payroll management features to handle salary calculations, deductions, and pay slips.
• Reporting and Analytics: Add detailed reporting and analytics to provide insights into employee data, attendance, and performance metrics.
• Email Notifications: Implement email notifications for important actions, such as adding a new employee or upcoming performance reviews.
• Mobile Application: Develop a companion mobile app to allow employees to access the system on the go.
• Data Backup and Recovery: Implement automated data backup and recovery solutions to protect against data loss.
