How to check data is inserted or not in the stored procedure

Question

I have a stored procedure for inserting employee information. If this request is executed on a form, it will not return any value.

create PROCEDURE  [dbo].[employee_mst_insertvalues]
@e_firstname varchar(100),
@e_middlename varchar(100),
@e_lastname varchar(100),
@e_address varchar(1000),
@e_phoneno varchar(15),
@mobileno varchar(15),
@UploadPhoto image

AS
declare @employee_id int
BEGIN
    SET @employee_id=(select max(Employee_id) from mstEmployee)
    if @employee_id is null
    BEGIN
        set @employee_id=1
END
    else
BEGIN
        set @employee_id=@employee_id+1
END
insert into mstEmployee (Employee_id,E_FirstName,E_MiddleName,E_LastName,E_Address,E_PhoneNo,E_MobileNo,UploadPhoto) 
values(@employee_id,@e_firstname,@e_middlename,@e_lastname,@e_address,@e_phoneno,@mobileno,@UploadPhoto)
END

how can i return an integer value to check if data is inserted or not.

SELECT @@ROWCOUNT will give you the number of rows affected by the insert statement.
