Bill overview
The No Work, No Pay Act of 2021 aims to ensure that Members of Congress do not receive their regular paychecks when the federal government is shut down. Specifically, it establishes that during a government shutdown, Congress members will not be paid for the number of days the shutdown lasts multiplied by their daily rate of pay. The bill seeks to prevent taxpayer funds from being used to compensate lawmakers during periods of government closure. This legislation builds upon previous attempts to address this issue.
