So I began creating a list tonight on 9/30/13.
About 800,000 to a million federal employees will be out of work without pay if a shutdown occurs.
This list includes sources directed towards federal employees.

"Planning Your Future -- A Federal Employee's Survival Guide" A sub-site of Department of Labor Employment & Training Administration. Here, you'll find detailed information on RIFs and furloughs, buyouts, transition assistance, financial management, health and stress management, and a list of organizations and contacts. http://www.safetynet.doleta. RELATED INFORMATION FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYEES: About RIFS (Reductions in Force) Reductions-In-Force (RIF): When an agency conducts a significant job reduction, it must use formal reduction-in-force procedures published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. These rules create four standards for determining which employees are released, and which are retained, either in their current positions or in another position:
From the Washington Post website: "Federal workers who check their e-mail during a shutdown will be breaking the law" http://www.washingtonpost.com/ September 30, 2013 "In the event of a government shutdown — just 12 hours to go until the deadline — workers on furlough will be barred from accessing their work e-mail accounts, according to the Office of Personnel Management.Public servants who've been told to stay home may even be asked to hand over their mobile devices -- just to make sure. Federal employees who do check their inboxes will technically be breaking an obscure law known as the Antideficiency Act, which was passed over a hundred years ago and carries a penalty of fines or even imprisonment.  The same rules hold for telling employees when they can come back to the office. ---------------------------------------------------------- Shutdown News Links for the General Public: Bloomberg: http://www.bloomberg.com Politico - shutdown: http://www.politico.com/p/ Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com Atlantic Wire: http://www.theatlanticwire.com New York Times - shutdown: http://www.washingtontimes.com |
