But in some rare and pain laden situation, workers are owed months and getting the salary was no longer guaranteed. The situation assumed a crisis dimension in the country that the federal government had to bend backwards to give bailout funds to state governments in an era where payment of salaries was regarded as one of the achievements of government.
