The BBC's John Sudworth: "The big question is how do [police] intend to enforce what looks like an ultimatum?"
Demonstrators in Hong Kong appear to be withdrawing from some of the protest sites they have barricaded themselves into for more than a week.
Local reports said some people were leaving secondary protest sites and heading to the main site, although others seemed to be staying put.
Hong Kong's leader CY Leung had warned that police would ensure government offices and schools reopened on Monday.
Protesters are angry at China's plans to vet election candidates in 2017.
They are demanding that the central government in Beijing allow Hong Kong to hold fully free elections in the next vote for the territory's leader.
Mr Leung had called on the protesters to end the demonstrations, warning that police had a responsibility to take all actions necessary to resume social order.
The Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS) said they had cleared a path outside the government headquarters so that civil servants could return to work on Monday.
Both the Hong Kong government and protesters indicated on Sunday that they were willing to start talks to find a resolution to the week-long standoff.
Talks had been due for Saturday, but protesters withdrew after pro-China groups attacked them in the Mong Kok district on Friday night.
Some of the protesters in Mong Kok appeared to be leaving the site on Sunday, saying they were joining the main protest group outside government buildings in the Admiralty district.
However, the BBC's Juliana Liu in Hong Kong said some had decided to stay put.
Thousands of people held a rally overnight, defying calls from the Beijing-backed authorities for them to disperse.
Crowds chanted: "Democracy now! Democracy in Hong Kong!" as speakers from the pro-democracy movement urged them to persist in their campaign.

John Sudworth says Hong Kong is "a city divided"
On Saturday, police said they had arrested 19 people who had been involved in clashes with protesters, adding that eight of them had "triad backgrounds".
Correspondents say triad gangs have traditionally been known for drug-running, prostitution and extortion networks but have in recent years become involved in legitimate ventures like property development and finance.
Some are also believed to have links with the political establishment, fuelling accusations that they have been paid by the authorities to stir up trouble.
'Doomed to fail'What began as a peaceful sit-in to demand democracy on 22 September escalated last Sunday when riot police used tear gas against unarmed students converging on the government headquarters.
The police response was widely condemned as an overreaction, prompting thousands of people to join the rallies and block key areas, including Hong Kong's financial district.
At the heart of the row between the protesters and the government is China's insistence on tight rules on nominations for candidates wanting to stand for election in 2017.
The protesters say the restrictions mean the polls will fall short of the free elections they are seeking and have called for Mr Leung to step down.
But the central government in Beijing has thrown its full support behind Mr Leung, calling the protests illegal and "doomed to fail".
