they are paying too freaking little baring in mind that russian is very very in demand language to translate ; lots of calls, they are constantly asking us to work overtime because there is a big demand but not willing to pay min wage
I was paid for almost 2 years basic $14 an hour, then they raised to $15 and recently jumped to $18 but as a part time employee I don't get paid time off ; I dont get paid sick time, I dont get insurance, I dont get any benefits beside only 401k ; we work all holidays there is no extra pay for those either and if you work over time ... no extra pay just your normal regular pay
FEMA calls paid almost $30 an hour but you often dont know what calls are FEMa and we dont get them that much ; i keep hearing that Spanish interpreters paid like 30-36$ an hour, arabic paid more as well
now Russian interpreters are even more in demand coz lots of Ukrainian ppl all over the world speak often russian too and its an options for them to communicate
they need to pay more!!!
I mean someone with two language skills should be able to make more money than a barista ...
they want us to know all the terms and medical and legal and banks and insurance but pay us like we were good after 4 hours training
