New York City will pay emergency snow shovelers $30 an hour this winter, and $45 an hour after 40 hours in a week. Sign-ups are open now, in person, at a walk-in center at 2 Lafayette St. in Manhattan and at city events listed at nyc.gov/snowemploy.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the rates Sept. 15 and moved registration to the fall. Last winter’s standard pay was $19.14 and $28.71, raised to $30 and $45 for February’s blizzard. Anyone who registers before Nov. 30 is eligible for a paid four-hour orientation in December and faster processing, with a goal of a paycheck within two weeks of working. No sign-up event remains on the calendar in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn’s two events, Oct. 3 in Crown Heights and Oct. 24 in Midwood, have passed. The closest remaining sign-ups for North Brooklyn are in Lower Manhattan, near the Chambers Street stop on the J and Z. The Jobs NYC Center at 2 Lafayette St. takes walk-ins Monday through Thursday, except holidays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sanitation Department headquarters at 125 Worth St. holds events in its second-floor auditorium from noon to 4 p.m. on Nov. 19 and Nov. 30.
