[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does that mean in terms of the work,day?[/quote]

Tomorrow, the government is officially shut down.  Follow your guidance, which is probably to come in to wrap up or to work if your agency has funding.  Then we'll see what happens at noon.[/quote]

So if we wrap up as instructed and they vote at noon do we stay and work 4 hours just in case or do we have to head home or kill time near work and then commute back for the afternoon? This is my first shutdown, obviously....[/quote]

I don't think they have any answers to that and i don't think they care about us.[/quote]

^What's with fed workers (I'm one of them but headed back to the private sector)?? You're already at effing work -- you can't stay a few hours?[/quote]

Actually, no, you can't, without violating the Antideficiency Act. 4 hours max is the time you are allowed to conduct orderly shutdown activities. After that you are volunteering your services to the government which is against the law.

To the prior poster, the answer is you go home after the wrap-up, and report back the next business day after the government reopens. So if a deal is reached before midnight Monday night, you report in on Tuesday. If it's reached in the wee hours of Tuesday, technically you're supposed to report back Wednesday, but in practice it will be Tuesday.

This is what senior staff at my agency were told, and we've been through it before and this is how it operated.[/quote]
