My Data in Excel Table:

ID   NAME  LASTNAME 
1.0  Ena   Rana 
2.0  Meena Hanly 
3.0  Tina  Mounce 
4.0  Dina  Cobain 

Model or Pojo: NewEmployee.java

public class NewEmployee {
     private Double id;
     private String firstName;
     private String lastName;

     public NewEmployee(){}

    public NewEmployee(Double id, String firstName, String lastName) {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public Double getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Double id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }    
}
