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."
