This is the real story, not the hundreds of thousands of gov’t workers who likely get back pay but the MILLIONS of contractors who never are made whole. Most janitors and admin staff are contractors. This group is the hardest hit.

+1. Good to see the contractors being acknowledged. We were invisible and forgotten during the
@tedcruz shutdown. Three weeks’ pay lost. -
Your contractor was paid for the "contract" which means you should have been paid also
Your contractor stiffed you......I worked through a few of these as a contract employee & anyone else that has realized we can do with far fewer Fed employees. -
As a contractor you can only legally charge for hours worked. If you can only work at a gov’t facility and if that facility is closed, you cannot charge and never get repaid. If you can work offsite independent of civil servants you can still get paid.

tell her she will be paid for not working when the shutdown is over like all federal employees
-
No, she won't. Private contractors for govt do NOT get reimbursed for back pay. This says she works for a private company. Most low level, manual jobs are done through private contracts. They don't get paid.
-
Absolutely right, she will not get paid

“I am proud to shut down the government...” Also just read that about 1/3rd of the affected government workers are veterans... so there’s that. Merry Christmas?

Oh come on, one of Trump's or Mnuchin's friends must be running a payday loan operation that will cover her at 1,000,000% interest!
