Emergency Snow
Shoveler Sign-Up

Walk-in registration for New York City's emergency snow shoveler hiring drive. The city is hiring temporary per diem workers who are called in after heavy snowfalls to clear snow and ice from bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and step streets. More than 7,800 people signed up last season, when crews worked during storms and in the evening for the first time. Registration completed by Nov. 30, 2026, makes participants eligible for a paid four-hour orientation in December and a faster first paycheck. Registration is available at the Jobs NYC Center, 2 Lafayette St., Manhattan, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with walk-ins accepted. Pay is $30 an hour, rising to $45 after 40 hours worked in a week.
