This would be a structure (or an array of
structures, if needed) containing the
following fields:
Remarks
This is the key field of the database as it is
unique for an employee in the
organization. This will also serve as the
login for the system.
Special characters like underscore are not
allowed.
The DOB should be entered in date format.
The reporting hierarchy is based on the role
of the person. For example, an engineer
reports to a manager, a manager reports to
a business manager etc
This field should also be unique for a
person because no two employees in an
organization can have the same email id.
