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.

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.
