KartikZCoding/emp-management-system-asp.net-web-api — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple employee management system as an ASP.NET Web API in C#. I want it to let someone manage employee records through API calls, including creating a new employee, viewing all employees, viewing one employee, updating employee details, and deleting an employee.

Keep it practical and easy to run locally. Employee records should include normal details like name, email, phone, job title, department, salary, and joining date. Save the data so it doesn’t disappear when the app restarts. Add basic validation so bad or missing information gives a clear error message.

Please organize the project cleanly so it’s easy to understand, with separate areas for the API routes, data model, and data access logic. Include a simple setup guide or notes in the project so I know how to run it and test the API. Look up current ASP.NET docs online if you need to.
