Acting IRS chief looks to cancel staff bonuses

The acting IRS chief told agency employees on Tuesday that bonuses for managers would be canceled this year, and that he was working to do the same for union staffers.
The acting IRS chief told agency employees on Tuesday that bonuses for managers would be canceled this year, and that he was working to do the same for union staffers.
Danny Werfel, who took over the reins at the IRS in May, told staffers across-the-board spending cuts had required bonuses be suspended elsewhere in the federal bureaucracy, and agency employees serving under union contracts shouldn’t be treated any differently. Werfel is seeking to stop bonuses for senior executives as well.
But while the tax-collecting agency remains under fire for its targeting of conservative groups, Werfel did not mention the current controversy and said scrapping the bonuses was not a comment on the work staffers were doing.
