Yes

If you put in for leave and the government shuts down, you cannot be charged for that leave because they cannot pay you for that day.

Nope. All hype.

If it's docked, do you still get paid when those who didn't ask for leave don't during a shutdown?

You always get paid. She means her leave hours get docked even though the government was shut down.

Eventually. However, there are a lot of people whose jobs are gov't dependent--such as contractors, and not just white collar jobs.

There is also no guarantee that you will be paid. This is at the discretion of Congress and you won't know until the government is up and running.

I think those who are optimistic that we won't shut down are forgetting that the President has veto power. Even if Congress can come to agreement, unless there is a veto-proof majority in Congress, there is no guarantee it will pass.

That's not what happened at our agency in 2013. All leave was cancelled and never charged to leave balances.

No shut down.

I agree with your assessment, but 95% disagree with the bolded. That HAS been the case for the last several years, but this Congress seems to have a common enemy.
