Elite Plus | |
S1 – Critical | Two (2) hours |
S2 – Major | Six (6) hours |

In the event of a Severity S1 or S2 issues Employ may provide an initial response via active notification, in real-time, via web, phone, email and/or syndication service to our customers by way of our alert services in lieu of a direct response to a support case. Employ’s alert services are available at https://status.lever.co/ or https://status.jobvite.com/
In addition, Employ maintains and publishes current system status for Platform Services core subsystems, daily, weekly, and monthly system metrics, and a historical log of platform incidents at https://status.lever.co/ or https://status.jobvite.com/
A description of issue severity levels, description, and resolution efforts are provided in the table below:
Severity Level | Description | Resolution Effort |
S1 | Critical – Service is inaccessible or the expected functionality is so severely impacted that Customer is unable to reasonably continue using a Platform Service. | Continuous efforts until the problem is officially fixed, tested and deployed and services are returned to normal operations. Updates every 2 hours. Internal escalation after 4 hours and every 4 hours thereafter. |
S2 | Major – Essential functionality of a Platform Service lost with no workaround or the expected functionality is so severely impacted that Customer is unable to perform portions of their normal business operations. There is no workaround available. | Allocate sufficient resources to fix the problem in the target resolution time frame. Target resolution for S2 problems is 24 hours to 3 business days depending on the complexity of the corrective action necessary to restore the service to normal operations. |
S3 | Minor – Frequently used functionality of the Platform Service is lost or impacted but a temporary workaround for the lost or impacted functionality exists. | Allocate sufficient resources during normal business hours to fix the problem in the target resolution time frame. Target resolution for S3 problems is 48 hours to 5 business days depending on the complexity of the corrective action necessary to restore the service to normal operations. |
S4 | Cosmetic – Characteristic defect with no impact on Platform Service functions or features cosmetic in nature which do not impact the function of the Service. The issue may also consist of “how to” questions such as configuration inquiries, enhancement requests, or help center documentation questions. | Resolution time frame of S4 problems will be determined on a case-by-case basis, worked during normal business hours at a lower priority than S1 – S3 and may be included in normal maintenance cycle and release schedule for those issues related to a characteristic defect. |
Incidents regarding a release, version and/or functionalities of Employ Platform Services developed specifically for Customer (including those developed by Employ Professional Services) are excluded from customer response levels as described above.
