James - in the Washington Post article you linked, what exaclty does the phrase "furloughed without pay" in regards to the 2,000 Trans Dept employees mean?

You obviously know a lot more about public sector employment practices than I do, but does the government really sometimes furlough employees and still pay them?

Or is it simply too hard for them to tell the difference?

In heavy industry, furlough-with-pay happens all the time. The machines can be stopped and restarted to save money, but if you furlough without pay, the workers might not come back.

Don't know about the government though.
