The requesting Catholic parish, school, or institution is responsible for payment. The cost of interpreting ranges from $50 – $65 an hour, plus mileage.
To assure the occupational safety of our interpreters, most assignments exceeding 2 hours will require a team of two Sign Language Interpreters. (This 2-hour minimum is sometimes waived for regularly scheduled interpreted Masses.)
The sign Language Interpreter will invoice/bill the parish/school/or institution directly for the service provided. Payment should be made directly to the interpreter assigned. Payment terms: net 30 days.
Parishes/schools/institutions will be responsible to pay for the interpreter.
If the parish / school / institution is financially unable to pay the interpreter, please contact VITALity’s Ministry With the Deaf to discuss the situation and VITALity will assist in finding the resources required if possible.
Clients will be billed in full for any assignments not cancelled within two business days’ notice remaining before the date of the job.
