[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a contractor and only get paid when I bill and I can only bill when I receive work. So if there is a shutdown, once I finish my queue I won’t be receiving work because the feds won’t be at work and I won’t get paid. I don’t get some lump check when the shutdown ends. I will not be paid whatsoever. My situation is not unique. Many people will find themselves in same position. [/quote] Most contractors I know accept this risk for the significantly higher pay. [/quote] I don't know why Feds think contractors get paid so much more than them - most of the Feds I know are making well over $100K. Most closer to $200K.[/quote] My BIL is a contractor in the IC. He has had several opportunities over the years to convert to blue badge. The pay difference was just way too much and he’s definitely glad he stayed green. [/quote] What does he make as a green badge in the IC?[/quote]
