[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i own a landscaping, construction company.  If it rains, snows, etc and the jobs get cancelled, we don't get paid.  The pay can then be made up by working longer hours, during weekends, etc.   I want to pay them but if there is snow on the ground for two weeks, I cannot be solvent.  Is inclement weather their fault?  The guys work hard, have families to feed, etc and earn a fraction of what these lazy a$$ Feds earn so no I don't feel sorry.  No work = no pay![/quote]

There’s a kernel of wisdom in this. If your employees can’t work because of circumstances beyond their control, they stay at home and then later can work longer hours, weekends etc and make up the difference.

In the 2018-19 shutdown, when we can back my group worked lots of overtime so that by May we were caught up for the 35 lost days. We didn’t get paid overtime because my agency doesn’t offer that. So being paid during the furlough is the only way we were fairly compensated for the extra, uncompensated work that we did during the months following the shutdown. If we don’t get back paid this time, why should we put in the overtime?[/quote]
