Reason for request: This temporary labor is needed to provide critical operational support following the departure of a team leader, leaving the team with one fewer resource during a high-volume period. The remaining team does not have the capacity to absorb the additional workload alongside existing business-critical priorities. With no incremental permanent headcount currently available, temporary support is needed to maintain business continuity.
