How can i manage my users from deleting files from onedrive and sharepoint without making the users know that they are monitored and cannot delete files permanently

The error message points out that there is no parameter named "Employee-Type". Looking at the available parameters for Set-ADUser shows there is also nothing for "employeeType". This means you'll have to use the -Replace to process your updates.
Check if the below code works in your environment, and don't forget to remove "-WhatIf" before running in production. Please note that I removed the $EUserType variable as it wasn't necessary in the script you presented; Import-CSV is piped directly to ForEach-Object.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory Import-Csv "C:\Scripts\EmployeeType21.csv" | ForEach-Object { $User = $_. Name $Type = $_.EmployeeType Set-ADUser $User -Replace @{EmployeeType = $Type } -WhatIf }- Joe Hahn, thank you so much, it worked.
- Check your input csv has header referred to EmployeeType
