There is no legal authority to permit the federal government to pay employees not to work for this length of time. Per 5 USC 6329a, only ten days of paid administrative leave are allowed per year. Ethics regulations strictly limit outside employment for government workers. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title5-section6329a&num=0&edition=prelim https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-5/chapter-XXVIII/part-3801/section-3801.106
