Non-emergency federal employees are off again Wednesday, as federal agencies in the D.C. area will be closed.

Non-emergency employees will get excused absence for the number of hours they were scheduled to work Wednesday. That includes employees already on pre-approved leave but does not include employees on leave without pay; leave without pay for military duty, workers' compensation or suspension; or another non-pay status.

Emergency employees are expected to report for work as scheduled.

Telecommuters are expected to work from their telecommuting locations.
