They are not paid.


Skip down to the funding section of each of these....

Nomination Is Pending. Section 5503(a)(2) provides that a recess appointee may be paid if, “at the end of the session, a nomination for the office, other than the
nomination of an individual appointed during the preceding recess of the Senate, was pending before the Senate for its advice and consent.”55 Nominations are considered to be
“not pending” if they have been rejected by the full Senate.56 In addition, if an individual’s own nomination is pending before Congress, that pending nomination may
satisfy this clause and enable him to be paid if the President recess-appoints him to the position for which his nomination is pending.57

The president can contract with the recess appointee to provide incidental non-legal, non-personal service. Through contracting, there's got to be a zillion ways to finesse this.

Other than that, it seems odd that a president in control of the house and senate couldn't make this happen in the area of funding.
