Answer:

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

According the subject and verb agreement rules, a singular verb must have a singular verb and a verb in plural form must have a plural verb. Thus, in this question the subject, which is in plural form, EMPLOYEES agrees with a plural verb, which is WERE and not the singular verb, WAS.
