IRS awards bonuses to employees who didn't pay taxes

The IRS doled out millions of dollars worth of bonuses to employees with disciplinary issues, including employees who hadn't paid their taxes. Via USA Today:

The Internal Revenue Service handed out $2.8 million in bonuses to employees with disciplinary issues — including more than $1 million to employees who didn't pay their federal taxes, a watchdog report says.

The report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said 1,146 IRS employees received bonuses within a year of substantiated federal tax compliance problems.

The bonuses weren't just monetary. Employees with tax problems received a total of 10,582 hours of paid time off — valued at about $250,000 — and 69 received permanent raises through a step increase, the report said.

Awesome.
