After large-scale layoffs and uncertainty earlier this year, the Internal Revenue Service in Ogden is on a hiring spree. It also invited back some employees who have been on paid leave since accepting the government’s offer of deferred resignation , known as the Fork in the Road , earlier this year. Lawrence estimates more than 1,000 Ogden employees took the deferred resignation offer, including many who held institutional knowledge. That left the remaining employees working extra hard, in true Beehive State fashion, he said. But she did take the government up on its offer of paid leave through September, rather than staying on through uncertainty.
