5. | AT&T MOBILITY SYSTEMS USE AND DOWNTIME |
5.1 | Should AT&T Mobility systems become unavailable to Supplier, Supplier will follow the notification instructions contained in AT&T Mobility’s Downtime Policy as provided by AT&T Mobility. Supplier will utilize downtime forms to capture call information on the AT&T Mobility-provided downtime forms and will input into AT&T Mobility systems as soon as reasonably possible after restoration of the impacted systems.

6. | PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: |
6.1 | AT&T Mobility and Supplier have developed the standards set forth in this Work Order, (hereinafter “Performance Standards”) to ensure the delivery of high quality, efficient customer service. Effective upon signature of this Work Order by both parties (“Execution Date”), Performance Standard measurements for Sites existing on the Execution Date shall begin the month following the Execution Date, or for the Performance Standards related to First Call Resolution and Overall Customer Satisfaction, the next full or prorated per complete months remaining, as the case may be, calendar quarter. Performance Standards for Sites opening after the Execution Date shall be applicable to Services performed from a particular Site/Program [*] days after Site opening, or as outlined in the Performance Measurements attached hereto as Exhibit E. Furthermore, anytime a particular Site/Program increases by more than twenty five percent (25%) over a two (2) month period (measured by the 45-Day Lock FTE), Performance Standards shall not apply with respect to such Site/Program until [*] after the incremental Site/Program staff has been in Production handling customer calls. Before the application of any of the Performance Standards, the parties agree to meet and discuss in good faith changes to the Performance Standards set forth and the relevant AT&T Mobility invoice credits and Supplier earned debits or bonuses with respect to such Performance Standards based on performance prior to such Performance Standards taking effect. Performance Standards hereunder shall be measured by Program at each Site and shall exclude calls handled by the IVR and those calls subject to waivers as set forth herein this Work Order. Any invoice credits owed or debits earned by Supplier shall only apply to the Services invoiced for the particular Site/Program subject to Section 1.1 herein for which it was measured and shall be assessed to Customer Service Experience (“CSE”) Program [*] in Production only. Any invoice debits earned by Supplier will be used to offset AT&T Mobility invoice credits only, except for Section 6.3.3 Occupancy which may earn a true debit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier may earn a Bonus subject to Sections 6.3.1 and 6.3.2. AT&T Mobility invoice credits, Supplier earned debits to AT&T Mobility invoice credits, and bonuses will be calculated as set forth in Section 6.3 and shall be applied on a quarterly basis. |

6.2 | Call Volume Forecasting / Staffing. Each month on a by Site/Program basis, AT&T Mobility shall provide Supplier three (3) written forecasts to be used by Supplier as a guide for recruitment, planning and staffing activities. The three (3) written forecasts are as follows: |
1. 90 Day Outlook Forecast with the required number of Full Time Equivalents (“FTEs”) by Site/Program for recruitment purposes
2. 45 Day Locked Forecast with the estimated daily number of calls by Site/Program for planning purposes as well as forecasted modification training for the applicable month (“45 Day Lock”)
3. 15 Day Forecast with daily call arrival patterns by Site/Program
Supplier shall provide FTE staffing pursuant to the mutually agreed upon 45 Day Lock based upon the 90 Day Outlook Forecast, which will include an assumption of the current training and nesting requirements set forth in Exhibit D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that AT&T Mobility requests training to extend beyond the current requirements set forth in Exhibit D, the parties shall address the change subject to Exhibit 5 of the Agreement.
The mutually agreed upon 45 Day Lock represents a commitment by AT&T Mobility and Supplier with respect to staffing levels. Once the 45 Day Lock is agreed to, AT&T Mobility agrees to compensate Supplier for the [*] incurred for the applicable month, and it is Supplier’ responsibility to staff to the 45 Day Lock as mutually agreed upon. In cases where Supplier has duplicate Programs across Sites, AT&T Mobility and Supplier shall mutually agree upon volume changes at a Site level as long as the 45 Day Lock remains unchanged. In the event that actual volumes are less than the 45 Day Lock, Supplier will use reasonable best efforts to ensure productive utilization of CSRs by offering voluntary go home (“VGH”), internal training, etc.
Each 15 Day Forecast will be prepared on a Site/Program basis in thirty (30) minute intervals and will include estimated call volumes, estimated average handle times, estimated shrinkage percentages and, when available, any other information which would be relevant for Supplier in providing the Services.
Both AT&T Mobility and Supplier will need to agree upon the volume forecasts and related staffing when the 45 Day Lock represents +/- 15% change from the previous 90 Day Outlook Forecast, as it may require additional new hire training. The parties shall mutually agree upon adjusted staffing for the modified forecast volumes pursuant to Exhibit 5 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Site requires a reduction of more than forty-nine (49) CSRs , Supplier shall have seventy (75) days from receipt of written notice, or the minimum number of days required to maintain compliance with the laws applicable in the affected Site’s location, to comply with the AT&T Mobility provided forecast.
a) | The Performance Standards outlined in this Work Order may be changed by AT&T Mobility upon thirty (30) days written notice to Supplier per the procedure outlined in Exhibit 5, Management Procedures for Change in Scope of the Agreement. | ||
b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing Performance Metrics and/or AT&T Mobility invoice credits under this WO or the Agreement shall be waived to the extent they are attributable to a failure caused by AT&T Mobility or if actual call volume for the Program exceeds or is less than the 45 Day Lock for such Site/Program by more than ten percent (10%) or as otherwise set forth in this Work Order or the Agreement. | ||
c) | Material failure to meet the same Performance Standards at the same Site/Program for two (2) consecutive months shall be considered a material default. | ||
d) | Supplier shall provide at least [*] of the staffing pursuant to the 45 Day Lock and in any case shall use reasonable efforts to achieve one hundred percent (100%) of the staffing pursuant to the 45 Day Lock, and AT&T Mobility shall provide at least [*] of the [*] pursuant to the 45 Day Lock. If Supplier fails to staff at least [*] of the 45 Day Lock and the shortage materially impacts AT&T Mobility’s ability to provide services to its customers, Supplier’s failure will be considered a material default. At the request of AT&T Mobility, Supplier will provide a corrective action plan for such breach. | ||
e) | Supplier shall be excused from Performance Metrics and/or AT&T Mobility invoice credits under this SOW in the event the parties determine that the components and/or assumptions used to determine the 45 Day Lock are inaccurate resulting in Supplier failing to meet Performance Metrics. The parties will mutually agree upon which component and/or assumption is inaccurate, will correct and re-run current and future forecasts utilizing the corrected components and/or assumptions. Variable assumptions and/or components include, but shall not be limited to: call volume, AHT assumption, occupancy, and modification/upgrade training hours. |
