It would be clearer if you named rename JTable2 to employeeTableModel.

I think those last two statements are unnecessary.

I'd replace those five lines with (untested)
     frame.add(new JScrollPane(aTbl));

 > frame.setVisible(true);
 > frame.pack();

You should do those two the other way around
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);

To avoid possible problems, you should use SwingUtilities.invokeLater()
to do all your GUI construction on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT).

Since constructing your TableModel is slow (see below) you should
probably do that on another Thread - see SwingWorker.

I'd make all the above private.
I'd use ArrayList instead of Vector.

You are doing slow database work in your constructor.
I'd exit the program if an Exception is caught when trying to connect to
the database. I doubt it's useful to just continue.

In a real payroll application you'd get the user to enter their
credentials :-)

You declared db_connect() to throw SQLException, so it doesn't make
sense to catch Exception here.

Interesting. Since your SQL is fixed, you don't really need MetaData to
find out columns = 3. I suppose it adds some flexibility to the code
though.

I'd define an Employee class with fields for code, name and
securityCode. Then I'd create a new Employee instance using values from
rs.getString() rs.getInt() etc. Finally I'd add the new Employee
instance to my ArrayList<Employee>. Admittedly, this is less flexible.
In a more complex program it may be useful to have Lists of Employees
rather than Vectors of Vectors of plain Objects.

You declared getData() to throw SQLException, so it doesn't make sense
to catch Exception here.
