Requests are handled on a first come, first serve basis except in emergencies.
Efforts are made to fill each assignment as soon as it is received. The Access Center does not dictate fees nor administer billing unless an Access Center staff interpreter is utilized. They normally charge a two-hour minimum including travel time and mileage. Most interpreters have cancellation policies, a higher rate for weekend and late night assignments and for certain type of settings such as legal, performing arts, or conference interpreting. If interpreters are used for all-day assignments, lunch time and breaks are generally counted in the billable hours.
