Bill overview
The Shutdown Fairness Act aims to ensure that federal employees, specifically ‘excepted employees’ and certain contractors, receive pay during government shutdowns. It provides funding to agencies to cover the salaries and allowances of these workers who are required to continue their jobs when Congress fails to pass appropriations. The bill prevents agencies from using these funds while regular appropriations are in place and limits when these funds can be obligated during a shutdown.
