In an interview for BBC News, Gilbert Employment Law partner, Kevin Owen, detailed the hardships Federal Government employees are enduring as they are about to miss their third paycheck. Owen explained how this shutdown is different from past disruptions and is creating deeper challenges for many Americans, not just Federal workers. Owen also said the pending funding agreement working through Congress is more of a pause than an end to the shutdown since it will fund several agencies through September, while most will only be funded through January of 2026.
