The heat is back on for Providence, Rhode Island city workers. On Tuesday Mayor David Cicilline announced that a rule that allowed outdoor city workers to take a day off when the temperature broke the 90 degree mark had been frozen. Workers who opted to take the day off received a full days pay and workers that stayed on the job were paid overtime.
