[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ Essential”  who are working should 100% get paid - there should be a rainy day fund for this.  Examples include active military and others deemed “dangerous essential”.  Not right to pay for work performed in any book. However, those furloughed should not receive back pay.  Yes..not their fault govt ran out of money but how is this different from a private employee who lays off employees for the same reason?  We assume the loss of employment -why do Feds feel entitled to pay if their employee has no $$ to make payroll. [/quote]

If you'd laid me off, I'd be due severance and I could work somewhere else. Right now I'm just locked out of my office, at my employer's choice, but they've told me to stick around in case they need something. [/quote]

Get real. Unemployment is peanuts. And nobody is hiring!! You are way better off furloughed and unable to work than laid off. [/quote]

Yes, essential workers should not whine about being forced to work full time without pay.  Federal workers shouldn't be due back pay.  Federal workers shouldn't be able to find a temp job to pay their salaries during this period.   They shouldn't be able to collect unemployment.  Let them survive on air! /s[/quote]
