• Triage and escalate urgent situations appropriately
• Document all interactions, schedule changes, and incidents clearly and promptly

4. To the extent not covered by the preceding subparts (i) and (ii), beginning at 5:00 p.m. on any day preceding a Holiday and ending at 8:00 a.m. on the day immediately following that Holiday.
