Didlake Provides Support to Furloughed Employees

Didlake Provides Support to Furloughed Employees

October 11, 2013 / Didlake / Press Releases

Manassas, VA – The current federal government shutdown has impacted Didlake, Inc., as 116 of the organization’s employees at six government contract locations are unable to work due to furloughs. Didlake is supporting these employees who have been out of work by placing them on administrative leave for time spent on furlough during the most recent pay period, enabling them to receive paychecks on Oct. 18 that are as close to their regular salary as possible.

“There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the shutdown,” said Didlake President and CEO Rex Parr. “Right now, Didlake does not have clear information about which of our government customers will pay us and which will not. In spite of this uncertainty we will be supporting our furloughed employees.”

Didlake’s use of administrative leave for furloughed employees is a one-time emergency procedure put in place to protect its employees. Employees are not guaranteed this support if the government shutdown continues and Didlake remains unpaid. In an e-mail to Didlake employees, Parr commented: “It is my hope that our elected leaders in Washington will act quickly to resolve this situation and allow everyone to get back to work.”
