As a federal government shutdown looms, those non-essential government employees that will be barred from their offices may permanently miss out on days or weeks of pay.
Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., told WTOP that federal employees may not receive retroactive pay for any missed workdays. About 800,000 federal employees, many of whom live in the D.C. area, would be furloughed.
Moran said that he’s talked to many Republicans in the House who say it would be inappropriate to pay workers for time missed during the shutdown.
