No, he's not. Thank goodness. Then, we'd be well on our way to resembling that socialist paradise Venezuela, or Cuba, or pick your favorite Third-world poophole.

You know, the ones the Dems are always gushing about.

Actually, I was questioning more along the lines that a contractor only has a contract with the USG and can't pay their employees?

Regardless, if the company is operating that close to the line funding wise where they are going "paycheck to paycheck", it doesn't speak well to their capital management.

Yes. Her paycheck doesn’t come from .gov she’s a civilian employee. Either she works for somebody who’s looking for a reason to not pay her during this or she’s one ****** business person if she’s a self contractor with a single gov contract.

Apparently neither one of you guys has ever worked for a private company that hires contract "employees". The employees are paid based on hours worked, the "contacting" company is only a agency that screens and offers temp employees as long as the hiring company wants them, meaning they can fire them or not have them work whenever they want. The agency doesn't offer the pay, the hiring company does, in this case the government.

We have contractors here every where. Their checks come from their employer, the temp agency not us. This is the same arrangement .gov works from

Now has her employer got her parked with no pay since he cannot bill .gov regular invoices? Sounds like it.

I absolutely know of engineering contractors that are “working from home” during this shutdown and not missing a pay check.

Just because someone works as a government contractor doesn't mean that the company they work for is under contract. People that get paid by a company under contract are way different than people that are under contract through a temp agency.
