Affected by Government Shutdown?

Bottom Line Up Front: I still have to report to work, but some of the people I work with may be affected.

I'm not getting furloughed, but my staff will if they were already scheduled to take leave (made travel arrangements/reservations/etc). We have to give them a letter stating "You are about to take unpaid leave if this is not deemed a medical/family emergency."

Working with recruiters, we (Active Duty Servicemembers) are essential personnel to the military's ongoing mission. Thing is, we can't take leave either (unless it's a medical/family emergency). Strange situation, but it comes down to us being told, "You still gotta go to work."

Are you still getting paid, or are you being told to come to work for free?
