For fields in my ASP.NET MVC view that have been attributed as required, is there any way for the framework to render some sort of indicator automatically that the field is marked as required in metadata?

From the model class drop down, select "Employee" as the model. Click on the "Add" button. It will automatically create the view from the model. Add the "[Required]" attribute to the field that you want to make mandatory for insertion.
A distinctive sign (“*” symbol, “mandatory” mention, etc.) must be provided in the label of each mandatory field. If a symbol is used to declare mandatory fields, a statement placed at the beginning of the form must indicate that the symbol stands for a mandatory field.
Should be able to do this with CSS since MVC3 adds in those custom attributes to the element:
<input data-val="true" data-val-required="The Username field is required." id="Username" name="Username" type="text" value="" />
You could key off the data-val-required in CSS like so:
input[data-val-required] { background:red } or set a background image of an asterisk etc.
