CreateCardForEmployee

This method is used to generate a card number for an employee. BPS requires a unique card number for each employee and each dependent (for employers offering the card). Cards are issued on a daily basis (including weekends) at 3:00 p.m. CT. The cards are physically distributed approximately two business days after the card order is received. A card number must be created to allow transactions (including deposits) to be put into an employee account (for employers offering the card).
