Mayor Eric Adams will allow thousands of city employees to work remotely two days a week, in a concession to staffers who clamored for flexibility after working from home during the height of the pandemic.
Many city workers have been impatiently waiting for a remote option. However, the program will only start with two agencies — the Department of Buildings and Department of Social Services — before eventually expanding to more than 30 agencies, according to City Hall.The plan cements an agreement the two parties had struck as part of theirearlier this year. Under that deal, the city agreed to establish a committee to come up with a pilot program for remote work by June 1.
“Look, I’m a seven-day-a-week guy, and [what] I believe is not for everyone,” Adams told reporters on Thursday when asked about his change of heart on remote work. “I’m not so rigid that I'm not willing to sit down and figure out how do we reach the goals that we want.” Committee members are also looking at other flexible work arrangements, such as staggered or compressed shifts, as well as alternative benefits like commuter discounts for those who cannot work remotely.
