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.
