This. I've experienced more payroll problems in the last 10 months than I did in the previous 10 years with the federal government. DOGEing most of the support feds has not helped.

Intersting. This might explain why I have received repeat email alerts in the last two weeks regarding the same SF-50 added to my EoPF. This must be the DOGE efficiency effect.

Consider it a retainer fee.

We received an email saying that if the payroll was processed in order and all certified by Monday, pay would start showing up Thursday in one payment.

According to this, my agency won't process backpay until the 19th!
