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 Total Resolved, 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 [*] ([*]) [*] 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 [*] percent ([*]%) over a [*] ([*]) [*] period (measured by the [*]-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 [*]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 Billable Hours 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 [*]([*]) written forecasts to be used by Supplier as a guide for recruitment, planning and staffing activities. The [*] ([*]) written forecasts are as follows:
1. [*] Day Outlook Forecast with the required number of Full Time Equivalents (“FTEs”) by Site/Program for recruitment purposes
2. [*] 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 (“[*] Day Lock”)
PRIVATE/PROPRIETARY/LOCK
The information contained in this Agreement is not for use or disclosure outside AT&T, Supplier, their affiliated companies and their third party representatives, except under written Agreement by the contracting Parties.
2
3. [*] Day Forecast with daily call arrival patterns by Site/Program
Supplier shall provide FTE staffing pursuant to the mutually agreed upon []* Day Lock based upon the [*] 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 [*] Day Lock represents a commitment by AT&T Mobility and Supplier with respect to staffing levels. Once the [*] Day Lock is agreed to, AT&T Mobility agrees to compensate Supplier for the Billable Hours incurred for the applicable month, and it is Supplier’ responsibility to staff to the [*] 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 [*] Day Lock remains unchanged. In the event that actual volumes are less than the [*] Day Lock, Supplier will use reasonable best efforts to ensure productive utilization of CSRs by offering voluntary go home (“VGH”), internal training, etc.
Each [*] Day Forecast will be prepared on a Site/Program basis in [*] ([*]) [*] 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 [*] Day Lock represents [*]% change from the previous [*] 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 [*] ([*]) CSRs , Supplier shall have [*] ([*]) 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 [*] ([*]) 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 [*] Day Lock for such Site/Program by more than [*] percent ([*]%) 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 [*] ([*]) consecutive months shall be considered a material default.
d) Supplier shall provide at least [*] percent ([*]%) of the staffing pursuant to the [*] Day Lock and in any case shall use reasonable efforts to achieve [*] percent ([*]%) of the staffing pursuant to the [*] Day Lock, and AT&T Mobility shall provide at least [*] percent ([*]%) of the Billable Hours pursuant to the [*] Day Lock. If Supplier fails to staff at least [*] percent ([*]%) of the [*] 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 [*] 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: [*].
6.3 Performance Metrics: The following Performance Metrics shall be measured on a Site basis and shall apply to the Customer Service Experience (“CSE”) program only, and shall be subject to material default and the applicable AT&T Mobility invoice credit, Supplier earned debit to AT&T Mobility’s invoice credit, or Bonus set forth herein.
