Federal Reserve employees are not government employees. Only the Board of Governors are government workers.

Are Federal Reserve employees considered federal government employees and receive government benefits?
No. Federal Reserve Bank employees are not government employees; however, Board of Governors employees are considered government employees. Each Reserve Bank determines its own benefits and human resources policies, and employees are paid as part of the expenses of their employing Bank.

Funny how nobody in the Trump administration has any clue what is actually part of the Federal Government.
