An agency may implement for its employees an alternative work schedule (AWS) instead of traditional fixed work schedules (e.g., 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week). Within rules established by the agency, AWS can enable employees to have work schedules that help the employee balance work and family or personal responsibilities.
The new Wells Fargo started off as the nation's seventh largest bank with $196 billion in assets, $130 billion in deposits, and 15 million retail banking, finance, and mortgage customers. The banking operation included more than 2,850 branches in 21 states from Ohio to California.
By the 1960s Wells Fargo had become the 11th largest bank in the U.S., and had the most branches of any banking institution in California. In 1966, Wells Fargo along with two other California banks formed the Interbank Card Association (ICA), and together they created Master Charge â later to become MasterCard. This new credit card quickly grew in popularity, and within two years had formed an alliance with Eurocard.
