Does Congress get paid during a shutdown?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Kaine's bill would prevent lawmakers from advancing non-appropriations legislation following the end of the fiscal year and Lankford's would require lawmakers to stay in Washington seven days a week to work through each of the 12 spending bills until a final budget is passed.
38% : The U.S. government appears to be heading towards its fifth "true" shutdown as lawmakers struggle to come to a compromise on how, or whether, to continue government funding beyond Saturday's deadline.
