they’re all on paid vacation, they haven’t lost a penny....they’ll all get big fat checks and this nice fall week off from work won’t even be counted as vacation...
Correct.
those on furlough are on unpaid furlough and it will take an act of Congress (not just pass the CR) to get them paid
this has happened in the past when the govt shutdown but it is not guaranteed to happen, so uncertainty
“If” and “when” doesn’t pay the rent
people are nervous because the sequester furloughs that occurred this summer were unpaid leave
those in the minority (excepted positions now working but not being paid) will get paid when the CR is passed
