If the contractor provides less than 24 hours notice to SOSI, that contractor
will not be able to attend an assigned hearing and SOSI is unable to find
another contractor to attend the applicable hearing or the contractor does
not show up for the hearing assignment after accepting the case assignment
an amount of $250.00 per occurrence for non-detained cases and $750.00
dollars per occurrence for detained cases, will be deducted from contractors
pay.
I firmly believe that this aspect of the agreement should be modified to
reflect and exception to the policy regarding financial penalization to the
interpreter, if the circumstances lead to the unexpected inability to perform
the interpretation services are due to circumstances such as emergency
situations or illnesses. When an interpreter is forced to vacate an assignment
for these reasons, documentation demonstrating reasons should be sufficient
to formally excuse the interpreters absence.
Sincerely,
Lisandra Garcia
Spanish Interpreter
