6.            PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:

 

6.1                             AT&T and Supplier have developed the AHT, Repeat Calls, Availability, Customer Satisfaction, Occupancy, and Short Call standards set forth in this WO, (hereinafter “Performance Standards”) to ensure the delivery of high quality, efficient customer service. Subject to AT&T providing and Supplier receiving the forecasts set forth in Section 6.2 herein (“Forecast Process”).  Effective upon signature of this WO by both parties (“Execution Date”), Performance Standard s for Sites existing on the Execution Date shall begin the month following the Execution Date.  Furthermore, anytime a particular Site/Line Group increases by more than [*] percent ([*]%) over a [*] month period, Performance Standards shall not apply with respect to such Site/Line Group until [*] days after the incremental Site/Line Group 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 service credits and Supplier incentive pay with respect to such Performance Standards

based on performance prior to such Performance Standards taking effect. Performance Standards hereunder shall be measured by Line Group at each Site and shall exclude calls handled by the IVR and those calls subject to waivers as set forth herein this WO.  Any services credits owed or incentive pay earned by Supplier shall only apply to the Services invoiced for the particular Site/Line Group subject to Exhibit D herein for which it was measured and shall be assessed to Billable Hours only.

 

6.2                             Call Volume Forecasting / Staffing.  Each month on a by Site/Line Group 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/Line group for recruitment purposes.

 

2.         [*]-Day Locked Forecast with the estimated daily number of calls and Average Handle Time (AHT) by Site/Line Group for planning purposes (“[*]-DayLock”).

 

3.         [*]-Day Forecast with daily call arrival patterns by Site/Line Group.

 

Supplier shall provide FTE staffing pursuant to the mutually agreed upon [*]-Day Lock, which will include an assumption of initial Program training and on-the-job training (“Nesting”) pursuant to Exhibit E, by Site/Line Group.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that AT&T requests training or Nesting to extend beyond that defined in Exhibit E, and Supplier determines that the change will affect Supplier’s ability to staff accurately, 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 call volume and staffing levels by Line Group.  Once the [*]-Day Lock is agreed to, AT&T agrees to compensate Supplier for the Billable Hours incurred for the applicable month which shall be no less than [*] percent ([*]%) of the [*]-Day Lock, and it is Supplier’s responsibility to staff to [*]-Day Lock as mutually agreed upon.  In cases where Supplier has duplicate Line Groups across Sites, Supplier reserves the right to increase or decrease volumes at a Site level as long as the [*]-Day Lock remains unchanged.

 

Both AT&T and Supplier will need to agree upon the staffing requirements when the [*]-Day Lock represents +/- [*]% change from the previous [*]-Day Lock, 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 staffing decrease is the lesser of (a) [*] CSRs or (b) [*] percent ([*]%) of the site, Supplier shall have [*] days from receipt of written notice to decrease the [*]-Day Lock if it can demonstrate to AT&T’s reasonable satisfaction that such Site staffing decrease triggers notification requirements pursuant to the WARN Act.

 

a)                                      The Performance Standards outlined here in this WO 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 (with the exception of 6.3.4 and 6.3.5) and shall not be in breach under this WO or the Agreement to the extent caused by AT&T or if actual call volume for such Program exceeds or is less than the [*]-Day Lock for such Site/Line Group by more than [*] percent ([*]%) or as otherwise set forth in this WO or the Agreement.

 

c)                                      Failure to meet the same Performance Standard at the same Site/Line Group for [*] consecutive months shall be considered a material default unless otherwise waived in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

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 shall provide at least [*] percent ([*]%) of the Billable Hours pursuant to the [*]-Day Lock.   If AT&T provides less than [*] percent ([*]%) of the Billable Hours to support the staffing requirements provided in the [*]-Day Lock, AT&T agrees to pay the difference to meet [*] percent ([*]%).

 

Supplier’s failure to meet [*] percent ([*]%) of committed staffing pursuant to the [*]- Day Lock per Site will result in [*].

 

6.3                                 Performance Standards:  The Customer Satisfaction, Occupancy, Average Handle Time and Repeat Calls Performance Standards shall apply to the Line Groups set forth in Exhibit D of this WO, and shall be subject to material default and the applicable AT&T service credit or Supplier earned incentive pay set forth herein.  The Occupancy, and Short Calls Performance Standards will not be subject to services credits or incentive pay, however, will be subject to material default.

 

6.3.1                        Customer Satisfaction:  For the purposes of this Performance Standard, Customer Satisfaction will be calculated based upon the combined performance results of First Call Resolution (“FCR”) GAP and Total Resolved each of which shall be subject to statistically valid sample sizes with a margin of error no greater than [*] percent ([*]%).  If the margin of error exceeds [*] percent ([*]%) for the month, the monthly measurement will be waived and shall be excluded from the monthly Performance Standard measurement.  In addition, AT&T or AT&T vendor site performance measurements with a margin of error greater than [*] percent ([*]%) shall not be included in the stack ranking.  In addition, Supplier shall be waived from the Customer Service Performance Standard and shall not be in breach or subject to an AT&T service credit if actual calls volumes exceed or are less than the [*]-Day Volume Forecast by more than [*] percent ([*]%), provided that Supplier is in compliance with the mutually agreed upon [*]-Day Lock.

 

FCR GAP is the percentage variance between the possible First Call Resolution score and the actual FCR score and is more particularly defined in Exhibit C attached hereto.  FCR GAP results will be ranked by AT&T sites providing the same services (“Like Sites”).  * FCR GAP shall be calculated as follows:

 

(Possible FCR — Actual First Call Resolution) / Possible First Call Resolution

 

Total Resolved is defined as the total number of surveys resulting in a customer’s primary issue was resolved by Supplier.

 

The FCR GAP and Total Resolved metrics will be reported on a monthly basis and shall be summed on a monthly basis to determine performance results.  The following methodology shall be used to determine penalty/premium associated with this Performance Standard:

 

Like Sites shall be ranked in accordance to the FCR GAP *

Like Sites shall be ranked in accordance to Total Resolved scores

The sum of the rankings shall be used to determine an overall score

The overall score (in ascending order) of all Like Sites shall be ranked
