June 13 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo ( WFC ) last month

terminated over a dozen employees after reviewing allegations

that they were involved in simulation of keyboard activity,

creating an impression of active work, Bloomberg News reported

on Thursday.

The fired employees worked in the bank's wealth and

investment management unit, according to the report, which cited

the bank's disclosures filed with the Financial Industry

Regulatory Authority.

"Wells Fargo ( WFC ) holds employees to the highest standards and

does not tolerate unethical behavior," a spokesperson told

Reuters.

It wasn't clear from the regulatory disclosures if the

employees were fired for allegedly faking active work from home,

the report added.

Wells Fargo ( WFC ) in early 2022 had asked most of its employees,

including those in customer-facing roles, to return to office

and work under a hybrid flexible model.
