The problem is greater for contractors. Government employees who are "essential" will get paid for their work whenever there is an appropriation. Contractors almost certainly will not.
Contract screeners are paid by their {civilian} employer. The government has already funded the contract for a given period so those people will be paid per the contract. If government defaults on the contract then the company will have recourse in the courts.
