No, the realistic payroll for a top qualified interpreter is 90 dollars an hour. I took an RID Interpreter Workshop over a year ago.

No wonder so many companies or doctors are balking over giving up that much dough to meet our interpreting needs.
Here it is 40 dollars an hour for a top qualified RID certified terp.

I am blessed to know one doctor office has a nurse who knows how to sign. Hopefully this trend will continue all over doctor offices and maybe companies too.

Wow, the foreign woman named lily spencer possossed $27,000 from wal-mart for that win case.. She smelled $$$$$$ that she wanted. For me, I aint surprise that wal mart always discriminate against the woman's right, on and on forth... I was an x employee for wal mart as unloaded truck. in fact, Wal-Mart company is very discrimination against deaf's rights. because their own view deaf employers in wal-mart always been a subordinate role to hearing people. For exmplain, I want to work as the electronic forklift. because I already had the certificated-license forklift with good expire from pervious work. I proved it to manager during interview before they hired me to work for that company. so I started to work there.. the supervior who work in backroom where stock, material handlers etc.. He won't let me work the electronic forklift. because I am deaf..c'mon! I did talk with manager and supervior what i want and my rights.. they ignored my rights and other list on and on forth.. wal mart's employment's policy and law are deceptive on disablity people.. i want to fight against wal-mart for change system, not looking for money that what i looked for. but my money was not premit me to get lawyer for sue wal-mart's system as discrimincation against deaf communities across U.S.A....

Wow! I wish I made that much per hour. The normal rate for daytime, non-emergency, non-legal, assignment is about $20 per hour. Sometimes mileage is included.Nesmuth said:
Educational terps get about $50 per day, no mileage.
I know big cities charge more than here in the South.

Walmart
Hello Everyone,
This is the first time I've been on here. Im doing a report on the Justice System for the Deaf Community. I myself is somewhat deaf and went through the same problem that some or most deaf are through with Wal Mart. I am a former cashier associate of Wal Mart who also had been discriminated. I was hired by Wal Mart as a temporary cashier for the holidays of 1999. Shortly after the Christmas holiday I became a permanted associate. Shortly after that I was named employee of the month for January. Pretty fast huh? I received award, pins, and 4 star cashier mooran (dark red) vest. Funny that the whole store knew I was employee of the month. I didnt find out until a month later. A week after that I was told by my boss to start attending the monthly cashier meeting. For 4 months as I never attend to any meeting. I didnt know they exist or that was going on. I requested for an interpreter. She said it is not need bec it a video. I asked if the video caption. She said well the television is caption it should be caption the video. I said no it doesnt work like that then processed to explain. She said with a digust sigh.. we're work something out. Another month goes by I get a bunch of pink slips for short change in my draw. Why? Does anyone remember when those new gold dollars came in? There were a change in the rule for counting down from $65 to $85. For a few weeks I have been counting my draw down to $85. Guess what? The rule change again and I was unaware until I got a bunch of pink slips again. My draw was over. No telling how many times I've been written up for something I didnt know about. The boss again scold me for not showing for the meeting. I said get me an interpeter and I come. For months have been fighting it went into depressing, anixety attack, and chest pain. Just was in & out of the doctor office. One day I went back to work I was told I was fired for confronting one of the manager about my right with the ADA. Of course the agurment escalated to a huge dispute. At that time I was young and didnt know how to go about handle my situation. When I discussed my situation with other people I learned a lot of things I could have done but it was too late bec I waited too long. Yes, WALMART need to be educated about deafness and their culture. If I knew what I know now back in 1999-2000 I could have went out made a difference.
