Team Interpreting

Due to the physically and mentally demanding nature of sign language interpreting, and in accordance with industry standards, two interpreters are required for most assignments over an hour. Because of workman’s compensation requirements and the concern for overuse injuries, an additional interpreter will be provided for any job assignment that is 1.25 hours or more in length unless otherwise negotiated in advance. Should a team of two interpreters have been expected and/or warranted and is not provided, contractor reserves the right to either charge double for work performed or work half the scheduled time without the requisite team in order to prevent injury from occurring, whichever works best to the benefit of both contracting parties. The additional interpreter will be double the cost. Exceptions are medical appointments, legal assignments and some mental health appointments. Only one interpreter may be necessary for these sessions, regardless of length.
