[quote=Anonymous]Somebody is posting a lot of "just asking" questions recently .... In the private sector, if your salaried staff show up but you have to close because you didn't pay the power bill, you still owe them salary. (In some states you owe hourly workers for the day, too.) This is not controversial. The government does not pay contractors directly, so it cannot give them backpay directly. Many are paid throughout, either because of how contracts are paid fir or because their employers aren't foolish enough to lay them off for a temporarydisruption. [/quote]
