You can use a validator.

@Component
public class EmploeeValidator implements Validator{
    @Override
    public boolean supports(Class<?> clazz) {
        return Emploee.class.equals(clazz);
    }
    @Override
    public void validate(Object target, Errors errors) {
        ValidationUtils.rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(errors, "someProp", "someProp.empty");
        //other valdiation...
    }
}

Then in the controller

    @Autowired
    private EmploeeValidator validator;
    @InitBinder
    protected void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
        binder.setValidator(validator);
    }

Use it:

 @RequestMapping("/emploee")
 public boolean addEmp(@Valid Employee emp,Errors errors){
         if(errors.hasErrors()){
            //it's not valid
         } else {
            //ok
         }
 }
