[quote=Anonymous]Contractors get paid. Contacting officers and their non-fed counterparts have been working like crazy the last 2 weeks to get contracts and funding in place. Any productive work that can continue, will continue. Contractors will work “at risk” and we will continue to pay our subcontractors for work performed. Work that can only occur in a secure location or on government systems will halt. We have identified those contracts and subs and made arrangements as best we can. Some people will take accrued paid vacation, others will go to training courses or help out on other programs. You know who really gets screwed? All the people who work in food service and gift shops at the Smithsonian museums and national monuments / parks. Those people make minimum wage for a contractor and only get paid for shifts they work. They won’t get back pay. [/quote]
