PSC’s Government Shutdown Resource Center Re-launched to Address Current Crisis

The government shutdown is now in its fourth day and contractors are beginning to feel the effects. Media outlets are reporting that some companies are furloughing their employees, just like their government partners. Other contractors have found alternatives to keep staff on the payroll as the crisis continues. 

In response to the shutdown, last week PSC re-launched its online Government Shutdown Resource Center to provide member companies with timely information about what actions they can take during and following any shutdown, and to help companies understand the operational implications of a potential shutdown.

The webpage contains materials from PSC’s 2011 program on contractor implications of a government shutdown, CRS reports, past and current guidance from federal agencies, and other pertinent documents, all of which are updated as additional information becomes available.
