To most of the commentators saying "why work when you're not getting paid", please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't federal employees not paid during a government shutdown getting retroactive pay once funding has been restored?

Could be wrong, but IIRC congress has to explicitly approve the back pay. So, who knows if it’ll happen…

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/24

Passed by Congress in January 2019 and signed by Trump. " Employees furloughed as a result of a lapse in appropriations shall be compensated for the period of the lapse on the earliest date possible after the lapse ends, regardless of scheduled pay dates. "

Note that the White House issued a memo contradicting GEFTA, and the OMB removed references to it. Federal workers are spooked.

Communication from the WH has been so wild this administration. Just constant things that directly contradict the law.
