In the wake of the recent government shutdown, federal employees are poised to receive back pay as agencies begin processing payroll. With the shutdown lasting for an extended period, federal workers can expect their paychecks to start arriving as soon as Saturday, with many agencies aiming to issue full back pay by November 19. The Trump administration has laid out plans to ensure that workers who were furloughed during the shutdown will also be compensated for their lost wages. While some efforts in Congress were blocked regarding immediate payments, it is now confirmed that federal employees will receive their delayed paychecks in the coming days, marking a return to normalcy after the disruption.
