When you're finally off the clock and an urgent work issue pops up, it's essential to handle the situation with clear communication and boundaries. Here's how to manage it effectively:

• Assess the urgency: Determine if the issue can wait until the next business day or if it truly requires immediate attention.

• Communicate clearly: Inform relevant parties of your availability and when you will address the issue if it can be postponed.

• Set boundaries: Politely remind colleagues of your off-hours and suggest establishing a protocol for future urgent matters.
