Customer has VM pro and time conditions for out of hours calls, Night service kicks in at 6:00pm, calls after this get OOH message no problem, call comes in at 5:30 pm and is queuing for an agent but doesn't get answered before 6 and consequently sits in the queue until customer hangs up. Is there a way in VM pro whereby any calls left queuing will get OOH message after 6:00pm
 
In my opinion its more of an HR issue if agents are letting callers sit in queue for a half hour and then just getting up and leaving. Could have the agents log out of the hunt group when they leave to kill the queued calls.
 
You can add a time condition in the queued and still queued start points.

However this is bad practice will most likely have customers upset more than anything.
 
HR issue.

Agents should be scheduled to work for the required amount of time after the queue stops accepting calls, in order to clear the queue. Time profile conditions in the queued/still queued start points for the group will work, but will grievously annoy customers.

There is no elegant way around this. If your queue is open from 8AM-5PM, schedule agents till 5:30PM or 6PM.
