Affected by Government Shutdown?

Sent home without pay. The government employees take it right in the *** when our legislators play chicken with the government.

Nope. They're all ok. It's the thousands and thousands of people who work for government that suffer. The troops aren't getting paid either, right?

Up front let me say thank you to everyone supporting us during this Continuing Resolution. As a Federal Government Services employee I do my civic duty and report to work accordingly. The day goes on, the job keeps going for me. And the love and concern you guys have for myself, my fellow Servicemembers, and all Federal Govt. employees is very commendable. So thank you all.

We got paid today, some other servicemembers will be paid tomorrow. We get paid because we earned the money between 1-30 September. However it's not likely we will be paid 15 October or 1 November if the agreement is not reached. Each day the resolution is not signed, is unpaid work that we wil be retroactively repaid during the following time period. Example:

- 1 October, no agreement signed, unpaid work days begin
- 6 October (hypothetical day), agreement signed
- 15 October, we get paid for 7-15 October (but not for 1-6 October).
- 1 November, we get paid for 16-31 October PLUS 1-6 October

There are still A LOT of unanswered questions, and even more fine details I wish I could give everyone on our forum. The above is all I've been told though. I'm just too low on the totem pole.

Yeah, too bad since most legislators will still getting paid. Maybe if they had to follow the same rules, this thing would have been put to bed by now.
