Federal agencies in Washington will open late because of wintry weather

Federal agencies in Washington will open at 11 a.m. Monday because of adverse weather.

The Office of Personnel Management is recommending that federal workers stay off the roads until 9:00 a.m. because of icy conditions in the Washington area, and employees who commute to the office will be granted an excused absence for the delayed arrival.

Federal employees also can take unscheduled leave or telework for the day instead of arriving late.

Emergency employees are expected to report to work unless told otherwise.
