Disposal notifications not resolved w/in ___days will be escalated to the deputy's supervisor.

• A. 10 days
• B. 12 days
• C. 20 days
• D. 15 days

Answer: (D)

Escalation thresholds ensure unresolved tasks reach the right level of oversight so they don’t slip through the cracks. When a disposal notification isn’t resolved within the defined window, it’s automatically escalated to the deputy’s supervisor to prompt accountability and further action. The 15-day timeframe gives a reasonable window for initial handling while still protecting against long delays; it’s long enough for typical processing but short enough to keep the workflow moving. Shorter options, like 10 days, would push too soon and may hamper normal processing, while 20 days would allow problems to accumulate without timely supervisor intervention. 15 days is the balance that aligns with the goal of timely escalation and oversight.
