4 Hour Service Level

4 Hour Service Level

Can you advise what is a definition of a 4 hour SLA? This is given to me by one of the managers of the accounts im supposed to calculate the staffing requirements for. im used to seeing 80/20 SLAs or something like that. How can you factor in a 4hour SLA to your staffing requirements? thank you

Question asked by John

Number of Queries Handled Within 4 Hours

Service level = (Number of queries handled within 4 hours / Number of queries offered ) * 100

This article has the formula. It is designed for calls, but is also applicable to other work tasks.

Required Service Level

Thank Jonty! On the calculator, I’m assuming I will the 4 hour SLA to the “Target Answer Time” area which is 14,400 sec. On the Required Service Level should I put 100% since there are no Required service level mentioned? Thanks!

With thanks to John
