How to Keep IT Support Requests From Stalling During a Company Holiday

Requests may sit unresolved over holidays if coverage, emergency contacts, vendor access, and escalation rules are unclear. Users may also confuse planned maintenance with an outage.

What to check

Review holiday staffing, critical system owners, vendor support hours, pending changes, alert routing, and customer-facing communication. Identify which requests need immediate response and which can wait.

Recommended next step

Publish accurate coverage and escalation information, assign an on-call owner for critical services, and freeze risky changes when support capacity is limited. Confirm monitoring alerts reach someone who can act.
