Here is the schema you are looking for.

{
  "type": "object",
  "required": ["employees"],
  "properties": {
    "employees": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "id": { "type": "integer" },
          "name": { "type": "string" }
        },
        "required": ["id", "name"]
      }
    }
  }
}

You were really close. The items keyword has two forms. The value of items can be a schema or an array of schemas(1).

If items is a schema, it means that every item in the array must conform to that schema. This is the form that is useful in this case.

If the value of items is an array of schemas, it describes a tuple. For example, this schema ...

{
  "type": "array",
  "items": [
    { "type": "boolean" },
    { "type": "string" }
  ]
}

would validate this ...

[true, "foo"]
