在主题为“休假指导更新”的电子邮件中,国税局的工作人员被告知,以前的一份备忘录“错误地陈述了2019年政府雇员公平待遇法案的性质,因为它涉及无薪和无职务状态的补偿”,并表示OMB将提供未来的指导。
周四,美国国税局(IRS)发出了一封全机构范围的电子邮件,其中包括一行关于休假的指导,称2019年的《政府雇员公平待遇法》(Government Employee Fair Treatment Act)“要求”休假的联邦员工在资金恢复后获得欠薪。
IRS walks back memo promising back pay for furloughed workers
In an email to staff Thursday morning, the IRS is now walking back guidance it provided in a previous internal memo to staff that stated furloughed employees were entitled to receive back pay, according to an email obtained by ABC News.
In the email with the subject line "Furlough guidance update," IRS staff were told that a previous memo "incorrectly stated the nature of the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 as it relates to compensation for non-pay and non-duty status," and says OMB would provide future guidance.
On Thursday, the IRS sent an agency-wide email with guidance on furloughs included a line that stated the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 "requires" furloughed federal workers to receive back pay once funding is restored.
