Most of the limited-english proficiency person are elderly. Therefore, in addition to interpretation, u need have patience. Sometimes u need to shout because a lot of them are hard of hearing. Some of their native language grammar is poor, and they often speak with a strong local accent, which means you may need to reconstruct and understand their sentences before you can interpret. These factors make it even more challenging. Now, imagine receiving over 80 calls in one shift, non-stop—it can be really stressful.
The income is fixed, with no paid leave, no bonuses, and no raises. The salary is considered a bit low for a night shift. The shift schedule rotates from time to time, which can impact health (at least for me).
Additionally, being on a night shift means it takes longer to recover when you're sick. Taking medical leave will affect u meeting ur salary targets unless you make up for the missed hours. In the end, it feels like you're sacrificing both your health and income.
For annual leave, you have to bid for it. There are only very limited slots available each month, and some days are restricted.
