$2 Billion Back Pay
November 8, 2013 by staff
$2 Billion Back Pay, Federal workers furloughed during last month’s partial government shutdown will receive about $2 billion in back pay, the White House said Thursday.
About 850,000 federal employees were furloughed for at least part of the 16-day shutdown, leading to a loss of 6.6 million work days, the Office of Management and Budget said in a report detailing some of the costs of the fiscal standoff.
“As the president has said, the shutdown that occurred last month inflicted completely unnecessary damage on our economy and took a toll on families and businesses across the country,” OMB Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell said in a White House blog post.
