5.              AT&T SYSTEMS USE AND DOWNTIME

 

5.1                                 Should AT&T systems become unavailable to Supplier, Supplier shall follow the notification instructions contained in AT&T’s Downtime Policy as provided by AT&T.  Supplier shall utilize downtime forms to capture call information on the AT&T-provided downtime forms and shall input into AT&T systems as soon as reasonably possible after restoration of the impacted systems.  AT&T shall pay the applicable Billable Hour rate for this function.  Supplier shall be excused from Performance Standards for the duration of the system outage. Supplier shall provide immediate notification to AT&T’s National Call Center Operations (“NCCO”) in the event of any outage. If AT&T Mobility directs Supplier CSR’s to “sign” off of the phones, Supplier shall manually track the time and invoice back as a separate line item.

 

5.2                                 If the telecommunications systems are in failure due to AT&T, AT&T may require Supplier CSRs to go into pure AUX state, whereby they are not receiving calls.  AT&T shall still be charged the actual outage time incurred for the amount of time affected.  Supplier shall be excused from Performance Standards for the duration of the outage. If AT&T directs Supplier CSR’s to “sign” off of the phones, Supplier shall manually track the time and invoice back as a separate line item.

 

5.3                                 The AT&T system will be completely down during certain after-hour times and other scheduled times throughout the year for maintenance.  When practical, AT&T will advise Supplier of the scheduled maintenance at least [*] prior to the times and dates that the systems will not be available due to maintenance.

6.              PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

 

6.1                                 AT&T and Supplier have developed the standards set forth in this Order, (hereinafter “Performance Standards”) to ensure the delivery of high quality, efficient customer service.  Effective  on the Effective Date, Performance Standard measurements for Sites existing on the Effective Date, shall begin the month following the Effective Date, or for the Performance Standards related to WAVE First Call Resolution and Total Resolved, the next full calendar quarter. Performance Standards for Sites opening after the Effective Date shall be applicable to Services performed from a particular Site/Program [*] after the first Production call is taken. Performance Standards hereunder shall be measured by Program at each Site and shall exclude calls subject to waivers as set forth herein this 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 1.2 herein for which it was measured and shall be assessed, respectively to CSE Programs Billable Hours in Production only.

 

6.2                                 Call Volume Forecasting / Staffing.  Each month on a by Site/Program basis, AT&T 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 monthly number of calls by Site/Program for planning purposes as well as forecasted modification training for the applicable month  (“[*] Day Lock”).

 

2



 

3.  [*] Day Forecast with daily/interval 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 requests training to extend beyond the current requirements set forth in Exhibit D, the Parties shall address the change subject to Section 4.22 (Change Management) of the Agreement.

 

The mutually agreed upon [*] Day Lock represents a commitment by AT&T and Supplier with respect to staffing levels.  Once the [*] Day Lock is agreed to, AT&T agrees to compensate Supplier for the Billable Hours incurred for the applicable month, and it is Supplier’s responsibility to staff to the [*] Day Lock as mutually agreed upon.  In cases where Supplier has duplicate Programs across Sites, AT&T 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 shall use reasonable 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 required FTE, shrinkage percentages and, when available, any other information which would be relevant for Supplier in providing the Services.

 

Both AT&T 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 Section 4.22 (Change Management) 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 provided forecast.

 

a)                                      The Performance Standards outlined here in this Order may be changed by AT&T upon [*] days written notice to Supplier per the procedure outlined in Section 4.22 (Change Management) of the Agreement.

 

b)                                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Supplier shall be waived for Performance Standards in breach and/or AT&T invoice credits under this Order or the Agreement to the extent caused by AT&T or if actual call volume for such Program exceeds the [*] Day Lock for such Site/Program by more than [*] or as otherwise set forth in this Order or the Agreement.

 

c)                                      Failure to meet the same Performance Standard at the same Site/Program for [*] consecutive months shall be considered a breach of this Order and may be subject to Section 3.4 (Cancellation and Termination) of the Agreement unless otherwise waived in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

d)                                     Supplier shall provide at least [*] of the staffing pursuant to the [*] Day Lock and in any case shall use reasonable efforts to achieve [*] of the staffing pursuant to the [*] Day Lock, and AT&T shall provide at least [*] of the Billable Hours pursuant to the [*] Day Lock.  If Supplier fails to staff at least [*] of the [*] Day Lock and the shortage materially impacts AT&T’s ability to provide services to its customers, Supplier failure will be considered a breach of this Order and may be subject to Section 3.4 (Cancellation and Termination) of the Agreement unless otherwise waived in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Post shrink “in-seat” requirements and overtime:  Post shrink “in-seat” requirements shall be provided by AT&T to Supplier in the [*] Day Lock file (labeled: “[*] Day active FTE committed” in the [*] Day Lock file).  The Parties shall mutually agree upon these requirements.  If Supplier actual in-seat FTEs are below agreed upon in-seat, based on the [*]-day lock (hereinafter “FTE In-Seat Shortage”), Supplier shall use reasonable efforts to solicit and fund overtime to meet the in-seat requirements where shortages exists.  AT&T may request and fund overtime for in-seat FTE hours that are in excess of the [*] Day Lock commitments but this must be approved in advance by AT&T.  Supplier will be excused from funding overtime in excess of the [*] Day Lock commitment.

 

e)                                      Supplier shall be excused from Performance Standards and/or AT&T invoice credits under this Order 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 Standards.  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.

Bonus shall be calculated as follows:  (1) the quarterly invoice credit(s)/debits(s) shall be calculated (“Offset Result”), then (2) the Bonus shall be applied to the Offset Result.

 

6.3.3                        Occupancy Rate Target of [*]-[*]%: The Occupancy Rate will be measured monthly, excluding CSE Program After Hours Queue (After Hours Queue is defined as those hours used to support Customers when normal CSE queues have closed), and shall be determined by subtracting total idle (waiting to serve) time from total logged in time and dividing the difference by total logged in time. If Supplier fails to meet the Occupancy performance standard and the monthly call volume is less than [*]% of the [*]- Day lock then the AT&T invoice credit will be waived. The AT&T invoice credits and Supplier earned bonus will be applied in the following fashion based on Occupancy Rate scores:

6.3.4                        Availability % (“Availability”) Target of [*]%: The measurement for Availability will be measured monthly and shall be calculated as follows based on AT&T SRS standard:  subtract hold time from the sum of talk time and wait time and divide the result by logged-in time.  In the event Supplier’s business process for calculating Availability (i.e., use of telephony system for tracking offline or development time) differs from the AT&T SRS standard, the Parties shall agree in writing to an alternate calculation provided however that such calculation meets the intent of measuring Availability. The AT&T invoice credits will be applied in the following fashion based on Availability results (all results should be rounded to the nearest percentage):

 

For Sites with an Availability score lower than [*]%:
