What is the callback/follow-up time for missed calls?

⚡ Quick answer —

• Any missed call before 5 PM (during working hours) must be returned within 2 working hours.

• For calls missed after 5 PM (outside working hours), attempt the callback the same evening if possible; otherwise, return the call within two working hours of the next business day (e.g., a call missed at 7 PM today must be attempted before 12 PM tomorrow).




Callback/follow-up rules

When the call was missed

Required action

Example

Before 5 PM (working hours)

Call back within 2 working hours

Missed at 3 PM → return by 5 PM

After 5 PM (outside working hours)

Try immediately; if not possible, call back within 2 business hours on the next workday

Missed at 7 PM → return by 12 PM next day

The standardised turnaround time (TAT) is always two working hours; only the start of the countdown changes based on when the call was missed.
