[quote=Anonymous][quote=jindc][quote=Anonymous]I'm a contractor and the DoD agency I support is pretty specific in its policy that the work of the furloughed worker cannot just be picked up by a contractor or another government employee not on furlough. The point is that it's work that just isn't getting done. [/quote] This is CLEARLY not the case even though it's the law. [/quote] It's not always black and white. No a civilian couldn't say, "I have this deliverable due tomorrow, but I'll be furloughed so I need you to do it." And no one I work with has done that. But we provide support services and work on a team of contractors (from multiple companies on different contracts) and civilians. We (my company) have specific deliverables that must be completed for our tasks. Those deliverables still have to be done. It just takes longer because we're missing government employees to provide relevant knowledge and review of those deliverables. Hence the longer hours. [/quote]
