N.I.S. Staff Interpreter Application Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many billable hours is the interpreter expected to work each week?
A: An average of 30 hours per week.
2. What hours is the interpreter expected to be on call?
A: Typically, 7am-5pm M-F
3. Are there opportunities to earn "overtime"?
A: Yes, overtime is available for work done outside your on-call time. The typical on-call schedule is 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday.
4. Can the interpreter place "limitations" on their work - i.e. no K-12, etc?
A: No, not normally. We try to work within the preferences of the interpreter but if there are too many stipulations, then it's probably better the interpreter remain an independent contractor.
5. Can the interpreter work elsewhere during off hours - i.e. local colleges?
A: As an interpreter, typically no. Only in unique and specifically approved circumstances can a staff interpreter compete with our business interest during off hours. If we are not a vendor of that customer and never hope to be, then it's a different story.
6. What is the pay range?
A: We would like to get a sense as to what an applicant needs, in terms of salary, without contributing any initial ideas or influence on that proposal.
7. What benefits are provided?
A: Health Insurance. A retirement program is available after 1 year of employment.
8. Are there specific "shifts" or hours that the interpreter is expected to work?
A: We typically ask interpreters to be on-call from 7am to 5pm but have done some afternoon into evening schedules in the past too.
9. What are the Educational Requirements for a staff position?
A: If interpreting and transliterating talent appear to be equal, as well as other qualifications, between candidates, preference will be given to those with more post-secondary education.
10. What are the interpreter certification requirements?
A: To be considered for a staff interpreting position, the interpreter must be certified by the R.I.D.
11. What is the Salary of the various positions?
A: The Salary is individually negotiated for each position.
