Agencies told to begin furlough notifications
By Robert Brodsky

Federal employees can expect to begin receiving furlough notices immediately, according to a memo to agency officials released on Thursday by the Office of Management and Budget.

Agency leadership should tell employees if they will be considered "exempt" and allowed to continue working, or if they will be furloughed if the existing temporary budget law expires at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, the memo from OMB Director Jacob "Jack" Lew said.

Agencies are encouraged to issue furlough notices electronically.

This is the official notice to Agencies to go ahead and tell employees which ones will be furloughed tomorrow, and also gives Agencies the word that in the event they do not hear of the
Congress passing a deal by tomorrow, that they are hereby ordered to begin orderly shutdown.


This is it folks- it's going down.
