Arranging after-hours work

If you need to work after hours on an assigned maintenance request to minimize disruption to occupants, coordinate with the facilities manager at least 48 hours in advance. This does not apply to emergency repairs—you should always keep the facilities manager informed of progress, including any after-hours work.
