10.01 Arrival Procedures
- (A) Interpreters will arrive on time for all assignments and scheduled events. OLA will develop protocols regarding the process for recording time worked (e.g., arrivals and departures). All interpreters must notify OLA if they will be late for any reason for their assignments.
- (B) Upon arrival, interpreters must report to OLA via TeamWork or current software system in use by OLA.
- (C) Upon arrival, in multi-departmental court facilities, interpreters must report to the Language Access Liaisons for each of the court departments to which they are assigned for court events.
- (D) Upon arrival, in multi-departmental court facilities in which staff interpreters are present, interpreters must report to those staff interpreters instead of reporting to the Language Access Liaisons. The Language Access Liaisons and the staff interpreters will communicate, as needed regarding the assigned court events. If no staff interpreter is present, then the interpreters must report to the Language Access Liaisons for the court departments in which they are interpreting.
10.02 Departure Procedures
- (A) When per diem court interpreters complete assignments before the end of their scheduled shifts, they must seek additional assignments from the OLA scheduling team, supervisors, Regional Coordinators, Language Access Liaisons and the court, and remain in their scheduled court location or approved court location for the remainder of their scheduled shift to be available for the next assignment(s). Additional assignments may be performed from an OLA-approved court location.
- (B) When there are staff interpreters assigned to multi-departmental court facilities, per diem interpreters must inform the staff interpreters when their assignments are completed. In the absence of staff interpreters, per diem interpreters must inform the Regional Coordinators and the Language Access Liaisons that they have completed their assignments.
10.03 On-Call Per Diem Court Interpreters
On-call per diem court interpreters will be compensated at their regular rates for the period of time they are scheduled to be on-call. OLA will assign on-call interpreters to court events at its discretion. Once assigned, the on-call interpreters will follow the procedures for arrivals and departures set forth in Sections 9.06, 10.01, and 10.02.
