""The federal government will initiate an unscheduled expenditure to ensure that October salaries are paid on time," the ministry spokeswoman said. "Repayment will then be made after payment by the US side.""
""apparently not being ready to follow German law""
""Salary interruptions due to budget disputes are not permissible under German law," she said."
Germany will cover October salaries for roughly 11,000 local employees working at US military bases whose pay was affected by the US government shutdown. The Finance Ministry announced an unscheduled expenditure to ensure timely payment, with repayment to follow after the US disburses funds. The Verdi union demanded support for these workers, noting that previous shutdowns had not interrupted pay. Verdi deputy leader Christine Behle said the US appears not to be following German law and stressed that salary interruptions due to budget disputes are not permissible under German law. Germany hosts tens of thousands of US military personnel at multiple locations including Ramstein Air Base.
