Job Opportunities for IRS Retirees as Instructors and On-The-Job Instructors (OJIs)

 

The Large and Mid-Size Business Division (LMSB) of the IRS is looking for retired IRS employees, including executives and managers, with specific experience (defined below) to serve primarily as instructors and OJIs at the GS-13 level. There may be a limited number of positions at grades GS-14 and/or GS-15. You will work directly with our new hires during their training process, develop training materials, or perform the work of a current employee who is involved in the training processes.

The instructor and OJI positions are temporary, intermittent appointments, and will begin in late 2004.

We are looking for retirees who have had experience at the GS-13 grade level in the following occupations:

GS-512 – Internal Revenue Agents, including Computer Audit, Financial Products, Employment Tax and Valuation Specialists
GS-800 – Engineering positions    
GS -110 – Economists      
GS-1160 – Financial Analysts                                         
GS-1171 – Appraisers

Annuity Offset: The IRS has been delegated authority to waive the annuity reduction on a case-by-case basis through the end of December 2004, and may be able to offer this waiver to a limited number of re-employed annuitants.  The IRS is also requesting delegated waiver authority for future years; however, this has not yet been approved.

NOTE: If your separation from Federal service included a buy-out, you cannot be rehired unless you repay the entire buyout amount.

The following conditions apply to rehires:

  • A complete fingerprint check and other screenings, as appropriate, must be completed.
  • The appointment is temporary (current maximum of 1,000 hours of work), intermittent and subject to termination without notice.
  • Pay will be based on the highest grade and step previously held.
  • Selectees will be assigned to a specific post-of-duty (POD). If you reside in a different geographic area than the POD, you will be responsible for all costs associated with your transportation to and from your POD.
  • Travel that is required for the performance of assigned duties will be reimbursed in accordance with current travel regulations. The position may require 100% travel.
  • If a waiver of an annuity offset is granted for your appointment, your period of temporary employment under the waiver would not apply for service credit or annuity re-computation.
  • If you are currently employed as a tax preparer, you must resign that position before you are rehired by the IRS.

We are now accepting applications with an initial review of qualifications to be determined until August 15, 2004.   To be initially considered for one of these positions, we must receive your application by August 15, 2004.  We will continue to accept applications through December 31, 2005.  If necessary, we will announce this opportunity again after December 31, 2005.

NOTE:   IF YOU APPLIED PREVIOUSLY UNDER THE FIRST LMSB ANNOUNCEMENT IN 2003 YOU NEED NOT RE-APPLY.

If you are interested in one of these positions, click on Questionnaire and the appropriate Self Assessment, select the occupational series above,  for the necessary forms and instructions.  Both forms must be completed and submitted with a copy of your retirement personnel action (SF-50) in order to be considered for these positions.
