I agree with your assessment, but 95% disagree with the bolded. That HAS been the case for the last several years, but this Congress seems to have a common enemy.

No shut down.

I'm going to say 85/15 as well. I will say I was going to take off May 1 to make a monthly appointment and I decided not to put in the leave. I will call in sick or request it the Friday before based on the vibe. If you have scheduled leave it gets docked even with a shutdown. I don't think anyone really knows, even those in congress.

why would they allow such a thing to happen, don't they want to show off how coordinated and unified they are??

If it's docked, do you still get paid when those who didn't ask for leave don't during a shutdown?

You always get paid. She means her leave hours get docked even though the government was shut down.

That's not what happened at our agency in 2013. All leave was cancelled and never charged to leave balances.

Eventually. However, there are a lot of people whose jobs are gov't dependent--such as contractors, and not just white collar jobs.

There is also no guarantee that you will be paid. This is at the discretion of Congress and you won't know until the government is up and running.

I think those who are optimistic that we won't shut down are forgetting that the President has veto power. Even if Congress can come to agreement, unless there is a veto-proof majority in Congress, there is no guarantee it will pass.

Nope. All hype.

If you put in for leave and the government shuts down, you cannot be charged for that leave because they cannot pay you for that day.

Yes
