My first thought here is that this might not have much to do with the @Scheduled annotation, but possibly with the configuration of your Spring application. You mentioned that you don't see any "signs of execution" for your EmployeeSaveJobConfig class—are you sure that the implementation you're expecting is actually there? Is EmployeeSaveJobConfig and interface, or a concrete implementation? There's a lot that could be going on there. I'd suggest possibly using a debugger to step through line by line to see what's happening. If those Scheduled batch messages are being logged, and you are not seeing that Error Occurred during batch trigger message, I don't see how your jobSaveEmployee method could not be being invoked.
