[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I already know I am an exempt employee and would have to work during a shutdown. The issue is, I already have approved leave the week of Thanksgiving. If the government shut down, does that mean my leave is canceled? I’ve already got flights and hotel. [/quote]

Unless your leadership is really unreasonable, this is usually handled by furloughing you for the time you'll be out. If needed, someone else can be designated excepted. So your leave is canceled om the books, yes, but your vacation can in theory still happen. 
But you will have to talk to your agency about it. [/quote]

A shutdown only potential impacts the ability of your agency to pay you, either for working or while on leave.  It shouldn't affect your ability to either use your leave (if you're exempt) or to be furloughed (if you're not excepted).  The only possible issue could be if you are excepted and can be required to work without pay.

An agency can run into issues if it inappropriately applies different classifications to positions that do the same work.  So not sure if they could actually move another employee into an excepted position while an otherwise excepted employee is allowed to not work.  [/quote]
