User Guides

• How much will I be paid and who will pay me?

  The proposed compensation will be noted in the offers you receive. The rates will vary depending on meeting length and language combinations. The same rates apply to Zoom as well as KUDO meetings, and all interpreters in a given language pair receive the exact same pay. Overtime and cancellation policies apply, as per your KUDO Marketplace contract.  
   
  Interpreters on KUDO Interpreter Marketplace are hired and paid by KUDO. Payment will be automatically transferred to your e-wallet as soon as you indicate that the meeting has been successfully completed.  

• Who do I call in an emergency after accepting the offer?

  Once you join the Zoom meeting, you are in the hands of the Zoom meeting host. Please reach out to them directly and closely follow their instructions. 

• Where do I get the assignment details and links? What about preparation materials?

  Once you accept the offer, all relevant assignment details will be disclosed to you, including the relevant links as well as any materials uploaded by the client to allow you to prepare. 

• Will I be trained on how to interpret on Zoom?

  No. KUDO will not train you on how to interpret on Zoom. We have prepared a summary of 10 Things You Need to Know, but it is your responsibility to acquire the necessary skills to work on Zoom. 

• How do I know that a meeting is hosted on Zoom?

  That information will be included in the offers you receive. Be sure to review them carefully. If you decide to accept an offer for a Zoom assignment, a popup window will ask you to confirm your ability to interpret on Zoom. Interpreters lacking experience on Zoom should decline such offers until they have acquired the necessary skills to work unassisted on Zoom.
