I know I've read previously that GMs do background work on a referral before coming down and meeting the player about the issue. It's been a while since I've had one (though I've got one now on an alternate), so if the idea I'm proposing is already implemented, just ignore me.
What I would like to suggest is that when a GM starts working on a referral, a notification is sent to the player so that way they know not to log out on that character. If the player is aware of any need to get out of game in the next few minutes, they can send a reply back (probably via report) to the GM letting them know that they have to log out, so the GM can move on.
This allows players to reduce uncertainty about service time while preserving current processes.
Just a thought.
