Though the government has been officially reopened, the 800,000 workers who have gone unpaid during the shutdown will likely not see a paycheck until late next week.
According to a Friday Washington Post report, it will take some time for the massive system to be up and running again as employees submit timecards for approval and the Treasury Department disburses “off-cycle” paychecks.
At the earliest, the checks will likely be cut Thursday, Friday or Saturday of next week which could be problematic for employees already struggling to make ends meet after over a month of lapsed pay.
Ya think?
Just enough time to ensure all those compassionate landlords and bankers, the ones who were so anxious to “work with” their federally employed tenants, are able to tack on late fees.
Contrary to Trump, federal workers weren’t all Democrats before, but maybe they are now.
Yet another example of the Trump administration’s caring policies -no thought was given to how to pay workers as soon as possible. And my guess is that if Treasury workers and others necessary to keep the payroll system up and running were declared necessary workers that things could go a lot faster.
The so/called leaders of out government are such bastards next thing you know they’ll separate children from parents without documenting who goes with whom and where the children have been placed. Oh wait. They already did that.
I thought that it was “work along,” whatever the hell that means.
