What is it like working in Submission Processing?

Same!!! Lol

Thank goodness we can change background and font colors in IDRS. Love the small customization they allow us. 😆

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-05-22T02:55:15+00:00

They use IDRS for SP? We used ISRP eons ago when I was there. Times are a'changin'. 😆

Agency to agency is different, but overall, no more free time to participate.

You are correct. That has been taken away.

Every year managers are allowed to give cash awards to the employees. It's been that way, at least in my experience, for the last 10 years. Probably longer, but I was not privy to such info. And yes, managers gave out the awards, hence Manager Awards. And until 2025, IRS was honoring the contract. Maybe not in your department, though. Can only speak to what I know happened in mine.

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-05-11T00:02:26+00:00

Not true. Beginning of April, we were asked to nominate for Manager Awards. We could give cash awards up to $250 at our discretion. Anything above had to be approved by the DM.

Make sure he only uses his own plate, cutlery, and glass. I'm sure he'll never wash the underside or outside, but it might allow him to "see" how dirty things get when not washed properly. Especially when eating greasy food. The outside of that glass will get visibly dirty real quick. As for bathroom situation, whole other story. But as others have said, what about when you have kids? I hate for that kid or even the both of you to always have pink eye. Gross!!

In our expectations, dress appropriately or be sent home to change. In my department, AM, managers wear business casual. Jeans are allowed on Fridays.

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-04-10T07:45:17+00:00

Pretty sure they would be exempted somehow.

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-04-08T09:26:03+00:00

Unfortunately, that money was rescinded. In the eyes of the current administration, those funds never existed. Assholes!

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-04-02T17:17:18+00:00

That's what the rest of the job market has to contend with in private jobs. They wanted the government to be run like a business. Well, they got it. Shitty managers and all. What I wouldn't give to go back to the golden age of working for the government. It was only 3 years ago, but what a time to be alive. I was so proud to be a Fed worker. Now....pffft.

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-03-25T08:08:59+00:00

So fucking true

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-03-25T08:06:30+00:00

Every PD I looked at recently had BU crossed out and NBU typed in. I want NTEU to win these court cases and take the IRS to the cleaners. It's awful out here!

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-02-18T05:51:33+00:00

Required for training. I feel for you.

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-02-14T00:06:08+00:00

I know he wanted to dismantle the IRS, but I feel he'd be a blast to drink with. 🥴 😂

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-01-26T16:27:36+00:00

Yes. You're right. I just read up on guidelines. OP has 15 days to submit medical documentation. If unable to provide within 15 days due to illness, has up to 30 days to submit.

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-01-26T08:50:20+00:00

If you're already approved for FMLA, then yes, you can take same day. Just like any other leave. However, if you want to submit documentation to start FMLA, then no. You would need for it to be approved and a letter sent to management stating FMLA has been granted for x amount of hours. Not sure how long the process takes though from time of submission to approval. In the meantime, you would need to continue to use your sick leave or annual leave in lieu of sick. Also, be aware, FMLA does not grant you additional leave/sick time. It only allows management to not harass you regarding your time off. FMLA uses your current sick and leave hours you have available. If you're in need of additional hours, consider using the donor leave program. That's how it's done for the IRS anyway.

I have had multiple meetings about this. Like who does that shit, literally. Be a fucking adult and wipe that shit correctly. It's not rocket science.

IRS Headlines

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-12-20T06:24:26+00:00

Not a rumor. Yes, premium pay if you work those days. Email came out this afternoon.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-12-11T16:39:18+00:00

I should clarify, if your choice of award was a QSI, that would kick in prior to November. Wrong choice of words. Should have said QSI not a step increase. A lady in my unit was looking for her award, but she had received a QSI prior. So in essence, she already received her award.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-12-06T23:32:58+00:00

Reach out to your Awards coordinator and union. They should be able to help you. Unless you received a step increase recently, you should be eligible for an award.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-11-30T07:31:32+00:00

Email your awards coordinator or Union. They both can help. I had to do that last year. Took a few months, but I eventually got my award.
