[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tons were called back last week to work for no pay. 
I agree though, they should get back pay asap. It makes be livid that this is happening. I am not a fed and actually know no Feds but I think they serve the rest of us and should be respected. [/quote]

Of course they will get back pay ASAP, but it does not mean immediately after government reopen. The process takes 4-5 calendar days, it is reasonable.[/quote]

No, it’s not reasonable. We are owed our pay AND the interest we would have had if we received our money on time!! [/quote]

I am saying -- 4-5 days is reasonable to process backpay. So people should return as soon as shutdown is over, not until paid in full.

Regarding interest, there is no law saying interest on backpay. Agencies just cannot randomly distribute money as interest.

Well, when your position is deemed as Excepted Service and you accept the position. Basically, you agree to work during a shutdown, but are not paid until funding is restored. It is still fair, it is some kind of employment contract.[/quote]
