The president and all members of congress were paid during the shutdown, but their staff members were not. The military was exempt, since the president had signed an act that made sure the troops would continue to get paid.

Were federal employees paid during the government shutdown advocated by Newt Gingrich?
The president, Clinton, ordered the shutdown for starters. I was a federal employee during that time and I was not paid during that period. After the shutdown and a budget was approved, I was paid in full. As far as I know, I then heard that all other federal employees that had been sent home were paid even though they didn't work, but haven't confirmed that yet.
