The White House says federal workers furloughed during the government shutdown are not guaranteed to be paid for the forced time off, according to a report.
The draft of a White House memo, described by Axios, asserts that the estimated 750,000 federal employees who have been furloughed after the lapse in federal funding last week wouldn’t be entitled to back pay once the shutdown ends - going against a 2019 law calling for them to be reimbursed.
