Staff Interpreters Sample Clauses
The 'Staff Interpreters' clause defines the terms and conditions under which interpreters employed directly by an organization will provide language interpretation services. It typically outlines the qualifications required for staff interpreters, their roles and responsibilities, and the scope of services they are expected to deliver, such as in-person or remote interpretation for meetings, events, or client interactions. This clause ensures that both parties understand the standards and expectations for interpretation services, helping to maintain quality and consistency while clarifying the employment relationship and obligations.
