For Immediate Release: Monday, January 8, 2018

Montgomery County Government offices and departments will remain OPEN today according to their normal operating schedules with optional LIBERAL LEAVE for non-essential employees effective at 11 a.m. Essential employees must work their regular hours and report as scheduled.

All scheduled Montgomery County Recreation Department programs, classes and Senior Centers will close at 2 p.m. today due to the inclement weather.

Non-essential Montgomery County employees must notify their supervisors of their intent to use appropriate leave (see MCtime Resources – Liberal Leave Guidance) without prior supervisory approval. Telework-approved employees who are regularly scheduled to perform telework must be prepared to work, take leave, or a combination of both. Telework-approved employees not scheduled to telework may request unscheduled telework from their supervisor for all or, in combination with leave, part of the work day.
