Guaranteeing Pay for Federal Workers and Military During Government Shutdowns
This Act ensures that federal employees, military personnel, and contract workers required to work receive their regular pay and benefits on time, even during a temporary lapse in government funding (a shutdown). This eliminates the need for these individuals to wait for back pay. Funds for compensation are automatically appropriated from the Treasury.
Key points
Automatic Payments: Federal employees, military, and designated contractors will receive their regular compensation on schedule during any government shutdown.
Work Requirement: Covered employees must perform their typical duties to the maximum extent practicable during the funding lapse.
Financial Security: Protects covered personnel from the immediate loss of income caused by government funding gaps.
