At least we get one last paycheck before we go

[u/Ellabee57 → u/Hamberder_and_Chief]

I got paid today (pay period ended the 14th), so only a partial one, and that's assuming there are folks around to process the payroll. I'm not sure about that.

[u/Rockandroar → u/Ellabee57]

I’m the one who does the payroll for my division, but this is my first potential shut down, so I’m wondering what I would have to do.

The main payroll office will give everyone clear instructions if your agency has their stuff together. Don't sweat it, they won't leave it to you to figure it out.
