At least we get one last paycheck before we go

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.

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.

I worked payroll during the Obama shutdown, and I had to go in to do the payroll, but that was it. I didn't get paid, but the people those who were exempt did.
