iterating through JSON object with javascript

In this example, I would like to extract the 1) employee number and 2) all of her/his tasks. 2) works, but 1) gives me an object not the number...

Do I have to set employee number as key/value pair to be able to extract the value?

<script type="text/javascript">

var s = {
    "schedule": {
        "employees": {
            "1000": {

                    {

                        "site": "site1",
                        "from": "0900",

                    }
