No. It was specific. Even if you had scheduled leave or vacation time it iss now officially cancelled.
I understand that, the pay will be deferred, unlike those in the private sector.
I don’t believe all government workers are lazy and have cushy jobs with big fat paychecks.
I also don’t believe government workers are better or more entitled than private sector workers.
When money issues happen with our employers, the employees suffer. It is awful and you have my sympathy there.
In 2009 and 2010 we had to live through this. It was hard but there was never any back pay to make up for the time lost after vacation time had been exhausted. Big hole never to be filled.
I think the reason the paid vacation comments are happening is because there is no back pay for the private sector like there is for government.
