An SLA is a formal agreement between a service provider and its customers, outlining the scope of services to be provided and the performance standards that the provider must meet for a specified duration.

A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a crucial document that outlines the services to be provided and the performance standards that a service provider must meet within a specified time frame. This formal agreement helps service providers set expectations and define risks and responsibilities, while also benefiting customers by describing the service’s performance characteristics and offering ways to resolve service issues.
Along with the SLA, service providers also typically have a Professional Service Agreement (PSA) to spell out general policies and procedures, and may also use a broader Service Level Commitment (SLC) to assure clients of their responsibilities.
Clear Scope and Quality of Services | SLAs specify the scope and quality of services a provider can offer, eliminating unrealistic expectations. Customers know exactly what they can expect, leading to greater satisfaction and trust |
Detailed Proof of Promised Services | An SLA provides a detailed proof of the promised services to the customer, reducing misunderstandings and disputes. The SLA serves as evidence of the agreed-upon terms, leading to smoother transactions |
Clear Channel for Feedback and Complaints | SLAs create a clear channel for customers to provide feedback and complaints. This leads to better communication between companies and clients and allows for more effective resolution of issues |
Tool for Improving Customer Service | SLAs serve as an excellent tool for improving customer service by setting performance standards and outlining the process for resolving issues |
Increased Transactional Transparency | SLAs increase transactional transparency by clearly defining the terms and expectations of the service agreement. This fosters more effective communication and builds trust between the parties involved |
Step 1: Define the scope and objectives: Identify the services to be covered under the SLA, determine the target audience, and set measurable objectives.
Step 2: Establish service level targets: Determine performance metrics and targets for the identified services.
Step 3: Define roles and responsibilities: Define the roles and responsibilities of the service provider and the client to ensure accountability.
Step 4: Outline service availability: Establish the expected hours of service, emergency procedures, and maintenance windows.
Step 5: Detail escalation and resolution procedures: Outline the process for escalating and resolving service incidents or issues.
Step 6: Include performance reporting: Establish a method of reporting performance to both the service provider and the client.
Step 7: Specify penalties and incentives: Define penalties and incentives for meeting or failing to meet service level targets.
Step 8: Establish governance and review procedures: Detail the process for reviewing and updating the SLA, including who is responsible for governance and oversight.
Step 9: Obtain approval and sign-off: Ensure that all parties involved in the SLA review and approve the agreement and sign-off on it.
Step 10: Implement and monitor the SLA: Implement the SLA and monitor performance to ensure that both the service provider and the client are meeting their obligations.

SLAs can exist between two departments inside a firm, although they typically exist between businesses and outside suppliers.
An SLA’s disadvantage is that it formalises expectations in a contractual environment, which could be detrimental to the partnership, according to Ghosh.
If the SLA is poorly worded and does not strike a balance between the supplier and the client, the customer will receive little to no value from the agreement. The financial motivation for the provider to adhere to the SLA is quite low or is constrained by provisions that make them unusable to the consumer.
Despite being referred to as an agreement, a SLA is a sort of contract, hence contract law is the law that applies in this situation the most. The common law is largely the foundation of contract law (like case law).
