[quote=Anonymous]I would not count on it. I have been a federal contractor for 20 years and my wife has been a civil servant for over 20 years. A day off for all federal workers (like a snow day) costs close to $450M in lost productivity. Which is why they have started to substitute alternative work place. Those people who can, are expected to telework where possible. Even when they only give the civil servants leave (which is the majority of time, we contractors almost never get paid leave, even those of us who work on-site/on-center), it still costs over $200M. With the way the budget and deficit are, it is highly unlikely that this will happen. Most often, they give the 59 minute leave, e.g. you get to leave 59 minutes early, because it costs less in lost productivity. I would be surprised if in today's political climate, that the day is given off. Plan for it not to happen.[/quote]
