It looks like no one bothered to read anything about this situation. They are getting paid their full annual salary as normal. They aren't getting "overtime" aka time and a half, because getting stuck in space is apparently a normal part of their job.
That being said, a normal astronaut doesn't get time and a half during any trip, extended or not, it's just part of the job.
Not at all, Trump asked if the astronauts get overtime, the NASA dweeb said no, no one at NASA gets overtime - because everyone is on salary. Trump took that to mean that they don't get paid for being up there.
They were paid for 8 days of work. They were officially done working last July.
This is making sure they are paid for the months of overtime they had no choice to endure because their ride home was held politically hostage until the workplace boss holding them at work against their will was fired and replaced.
I mean, did they choose to stay for an extended period, or was it the fault of the government? We know the answer. I'm sure they had to do SOME kind of work while they were up there, you know, TO STAY ALIVE! I hope they find out who made the decision to not pay these people and FIRE them!
Why are they not being paid?
That is the duty station they sent them to.

This entire narrative makes no sense. Is this to begin to put the spotlight on NASA?
I hope so. So much fake.

What did their employment contract say about "Earth work" as opposed to "Off planet work"?
Many jobs have various scales of pay depending upon the details of the work done.

Clearly they deserve to be paid.

I wonder why they were sent there in the first place?
Some low level piece of shit i bet.
So, their families were just left to twist in the wind?
