Government Shutdown Can Be Financial Boom For Some Government Workers

1Timothy 6:9,10 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

While many government workers will not be showing up at their jobs Tuesday because of the government shutdown, some workers will be looking at a financial windfall thanks to regulations.

Employees who are considered essential and “excepted” will not only continue to work but will be able to pick up overtime, compensatory time and other benefits.

Employees who continue to work will get overtime pay, Sunday premium pay, night pay, availability pay and other payments that fit with government rules and regulations.

Federal retirees will continue to receive full annuity payments.
