The PIN is needed to log onto the IVR system. All entries (PIN, work order number (WEB # or PM # - just the 6 digit number, etc.) must be entered without any special keys i.e. #, *, etc... All ETAs are entered as a six-digit number example for February 14, The ETA time will be entered in two digits i.e. 01 for 1:00 and the prompt will ask if this time is AM or PM ** Please refer to workflow in section 6 for a full sample of IVR call tree. ** 2.2 On-Demand Request For Service Notification a. All Request for Service need to be placed directly to FacilitySource. The Location should not contact a Service Provider directly. If a Location contacts you directly about an RFS, please direct the Location to call the FacilitySource call center. This is critical for correct billing and timely payment. b. Each Location will call all service issues into the FacilitySource call center. A detailed description of the On-Demand Request for Service is entered into the system by a FacilitySource representative. FacilitySource will then notify the Service Provider that there is a service need at a particular Location. The Service Provider will receive the Request for Service/work order via a pre-established protocol (i.e. phone or ). c. On-Demand Requests for Service will begin with WEB - then the numeric work order number. d. After hours a Service Provider must call FacilitySource to ACCEPT or REJECT an On- Demand Request for Service (or use the fmpilot portal to accept or reject). If you are

9 not able to address the Request for Service within resolution time frames established in this Service Provider manual, FacilitySource must be contacted immediately. e. If the Request for Service is accepted, the Service Provider determines if a solution should be attempted over the phone or if an on-site visit is necessary. If a phone solution might be possible, the Service Provider calls the Location directly using the number on the Request for Service notification/work order. If the problem is solved over the phone, the Service Provider can use the IVR system (option # 5 upon check out), or through the work order to Close-out (Zero Invoice) the RFS. If the Service Provider closes out a call this way, it is important to explain the resolution in the comments section of the work order and then to click on the zero invoice button. You can find the zero invoice action at the top of the work order screen. A Close-out (Zero Invoice) reflects positively on the Service Provider in the eyes of KinderCare Education and FacilitySource, strengthening the business relationship and confidence level. f. The Service Provider may need to Set or Reset the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). The ETA should not be changed by the Service Provider unless agreed upon by the Location requesting the service. Note: Target Complete times or Resolution times will be used to scorecard the Service Provider at times the Service Provider might need to change the ETA, but understand this will impact your overall scorecard performance. g. If an on-site visit is necessary, the Service Provider will be required to Check-in with the Location and the FacilitySource fmpilot system via the IVR telephone system upon arrival at the Location. After the service activity for that day is completed, the Service Provider will be required to Check-out with the Location, and the FacilitySource fmpilot system via the IVR telephone system. 2.3 On-Demand Request for Service Response a. When you receive an On-Demand Request for Service/work order from FacilitySource, the first step is to determine if you can do the work.
