I believe the JSON serializer only works against properties and not fields and they need to be marked with the DataMember attribute. Try converting the FirstName and LastName fields to properties and see if that fixes the problem.

[DataContract]
public class MyEmployee
{
    [DataMember]
    public string FirstName {get;set;}
    [DataMember]
    public string LastName {get;set;}
    ...
}
