Rate structures are based on the number of years of experience since an interpreter’s initial certification date. Interpreters move to the next rates bracket quarterly, on the first of January, April, July, and October (based on the certification anniversary being within the previous quarter)
ODHH now has two contract types. They have different interpreter rates and booking fees.
The DES contracts have been used for the past several years and use the rate structure our registered interpreters are accustomed to.
The new DSHS contracts are for serving emergency or crucial appointments which are only in person.
