MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ANNOUNCES THAT CITY GOVERNMENT WILL BE OPEN ON MONDAY AND ALL EMPLOYEES SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN COMMUTING

“Because of yesterday’s storm and its lingering effects, all New Yorkers should exercise caution and allow extra time for travel on Monday morning. City government will be open on Monday and City employees are expected to report to work. If mass transit services have not yet been restored in a City employee’s neighborhood, and the employee has no other safe and feasible way to travel to work, then the employee should use their judgment and delay their arrival – there will be no penalties for transit-related lateness. If the employee determines that they cannot come to work, they should use annual leave or comp time to stay home. There will be no penalties for transit-related unscheduled leave time. Please check the MTA website at www.mta.info for the latest on mass transit service; and City government workers are advised to check www.nyc.gov and their agency’s website for any additional information.”
