Trump Gives Federal Employees Christmas Eve Off
GOVEXEC STAFF | DECEMBER 18, 2018 8:45 PM ET
President Trump issued an executive order Tuesday evening closing federal offices and excusing employees from duty on Dec. 24.
Under the order, "the heads of executive departments and agencies may determine that certain offices and installations of their organizations, or parts thereof, must remain open and that certain employees must report for duty on December 24, 2018, for reasons of national security, defense, or other public need."

Thank you Mr. President
Actually, I think we may be getting the rest of eternity off after Friday this week. At least that is looking possible right now...
Happy Furlough!
(Sigh)

I have to work with a chance of not getting paid for it because I am an 'essential' employee.
Meanwhile, everyone in the Federal building gets a free paid vacation. Or at least they did during the last shutdown.
Sometimes I wish I had stayed in the private sector.
News this morning is the shutdown is not happening. If you did work during it it with even with the shutdown you get double time, when the pay goes through.

Thanks for the information. I just worked off this morning and didn't get to check the latest news.
I am thankful for my job. But things like these shut downs make me think........Why do we have "non-essential" employees?
Shouldn't everyone that works for the government and is paid by tax payers money, be "essential?"
I am ignorant when it comes to politics. And I am sure I am just how "they" want me to be! lol
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Trying to compensate for no pay raise.

I thought all federal employee's got double time for working holidays, No?
I'm a nurse at VA, and an "essential" employee, if we work any holiday we get double time including extra ones that are announced. I got it for Bush's day of morning too. If I work Monday I will as well.
