Yes it should include you. Unfortunately that’s life. If a construction worker can’t work because of weather no one pays him.
The military are still working though without pay. Now if you were to work while not getting pay then absolutely pay you, if not take leave or comp time to cover your missed work. in fact, Comptime should be required to use before anyone even makes a hardship case to get paid. And yes if you used comptime or took leave then you should get paid.
Uh...read his post again. And yes. We in the military will STILL be working. I’ve worked during every government shutdown. Civilian employees get a paid day off basically. We work. He is suggesting I should not get paid for my work. Do you HONESTLY think the military would just get to sit at home during a government shut down? You don’t know much about the military do you... Do you think our deployed guys in Afghanistan get to just stop working? The guys on the ships in the Navy at sea? Lol. No. But that is what the poster was suggesting. Hence my post. Think a little.

Weather is an Act of God. The failure of the Congress to act certainly isn’t. Do you hate government workers so badly that you would punish them because the democrats want to make a political point?
