Error messages are not placed inside widgets

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):

   class Meta:
       model=Employee
       exclude = ('user', 'created_by', 'is_deleted', 'created')
       error_messages = {
        'first_name': {
            'max_length': _("This writer's name is too long."),
           },
       }

From the documentation, you can simply use error_messages for that;

'first_name': forms.TextInput(error_messages={'required': 'message'}, 
                              attrs={'placeholder': _('First name')})
