As directed by higher headquarters, Hill AFB officials have initiated contingency plans in order to prepare for an orderly shutdown of activities that would be affected by a lapse in appropriations. In accordance with these plans, all military personnel would remain on regular duty status, but all civilian personnel paid by appropriated funds would be furloughed, except for exempt employees and for the minimum number necessary to accomplish excepted activities that are essential to national security and safety. We anticipate direct working capital fund employees to be exempt from furlough as long as working capital funds are available. All personnel are expected to report for duty as normal on Oct. 1, 2013. At that time, non-excepted, excepted and exempt employees would receive specific direction in regard to their respective duty status. We remain hopeful that the budget uncertainty will be resolved prior to the expiration of appropriations. A shutdown would put severe hardships on an already stressed workforce.
