Raimondo Activates Adverse Weather Policy for State Employees
"I'm urging Rhode Islanders again to take caution during the Monday commute," said Raimondo. "Forecasters are predicting the most snowfall right before the morning commute, so the roads will be messy - everyone should plan for extra time and drive slowly. Please remember to check on your loved ones and neighbors, and to watch closely for updates on school closures and parking bans. I also want to encourage all businesses to be flexible with their employees - safety continues to be our number one priority."
The adverse weather policy issued for Monday means non-essential state employees who are scheduled to work during this time -- and who are unable to report for work (or who wish to report late or leave early) -- may use annual leave, personal leave, or leave without pay and must notify their supervisor in accordance with their division's procedures.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning, which will be in effect until 1 a.m. Tuesday. Forecasters are predicting up to 12 inches of snow in parts of Rhode Island.
