If I had to speculate I would say they will remain at home with their dicks in their hands for the foreseeable future until covid dies down

Same as any other shut down. Those on EA and those non-essential will be sent home for the duration, then be brought back and given full back pay with no leave charged.

What if you just have CD in a tower?
That's considered an operational position, if you're not on EA you'll continue working. If you are on EA you'll be unpaid at home for the time being.

What if youre on covid EA when the shutdown happens? Think we’ll still be essential and brought back when quarantine is up?

We are already at home, we can’t be at home any farther.

Tell me about it ?.
Yes. You are still essential and will be back when you get your medical.

No one gets paid during shutdown. Everyone gets paid after shutdown

It's a joke referencing Super Troopers.

So here's a question. During a shutdown we're not allowed to be in a paid leave status. Excused Absence/Admin Leave is a form of paid leave. If the government were to shut down, would we have to immediately come off 5/5 or 5/10 schedules and go back to BWS?

I thought the whole point of an a side cert was so that they'd be protected in a shutdown. I need some strips.

“If the employees do win the suit, they would each be entitled to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour for the time they worked, or about $1,160 if they worked the full shutdown period,”
Federal workers score legal win over pay halt during 2018-19 shutdown
The longest shutdown in U.S. history stemmed from an impasse over Trump’s border wall demands.www.politico.com
38 days at 40 hours a week and min wage comes out to less than $1200? Jesus Christ that needs to get raised.

I think your logic is right. I don’t think we can be “guaranteed” 80 hours if we don’t work 80 hours. Maybe they could do some scamming and assign us work from home instead of admin in the other times.

Back to the original topic, it’s such BS that we have to worry about this shit every single year. IMO we need a constitutional amendment that says they’re only allowed to pass one CR for 30 days each year. Additionally, in the event of a shutdown, neither congressmen, Senators, or POTUS get a paycheck and they are ineligible for back pay. Then top it off by prohibiting any of them from leaving Washington until a budget it signed. I bet you’ll see plenty “collaboration” then.
