Based on the most helpful WSO content, garden leave policies can vary significantly depending on the firm and the specific employment contract. For Wells Fargo (WF) Investment Banking associates, there isn't a specific mention of their garden leave policy in the WSO threads provided. However, in general, garden leave is often used by firms to restrict employees from immediately joining competitors after resigning.

Typically, during garden leave: - Employees are still on the payroll but are not required to work. - They may be restricted from accessing sensitive company information or interacting with clients. - The duration can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the seniority and role.

For precise details about WF's policy, it would be best to consult your employment contract or reach out to HR directly. If you're looking for insights from others in the industry, you might find similar discussions on WSO forums helpful.
