Time Codes

Code to use for performing orderly shutdown activities

 All paid time off during a shutdown furlough period must be cancelled because the requirements to furlough supersedes leave and other paid time off rights. If you reported to conduct orderly shutdown activities, post Organization, Function and Program (OFP) code 800 84010 (Orderly Shutdown) for the length of time needed to conduct those activities. The IRS resumed activities at 9am (EST). Post OFP code 990 59566 (Administrative leave) in anticipation of Congress authorizing pay for employees, for the period of time from the completion of orderly shutdown activity until IRS resumed activities. If you are returning to work, you may post up to four hours administrative leave prior to resuming work. If you are not resuming work, but are approved paid leave, post the corresponding OFP code for that leave beginning at 9 a.m. EST.
