JQuery AJAX syntax

Question

I am trying to find the correct syntax to pass a varible to my JQuery Post.

var id = empid;

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "../Webservices/EmployeeService.asmx/GetEmployeeOrders",
    data: "{empid: empid}",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(result) {
        alert(result.d);
    }

I don't think the data: value is quite right. Someone set me straight?

Thanks!

Syntax: $. ajax(url); $. ajax(url,[options]);
jQuery ajax() Method.
