Payment FAQs
We value our linguists and the work they do for us. We strive to provide transparency and clarity regarding payment processes. Here, you’ll find our detailed payment schedule. The FAQs provide quick answers to some of our most commonly asked questions to help you easily navigate our systems and policies.
When do I get paid?
Vendors are paid twice a month, based on the cut-off periods listed in our annual payment schedule. Payment dates generally fall around the 6th and 21st of each month, but may shift slightly due to weekends or federal holidays. For exact dates, please refer to the Payment Schedule 2025
Incidentals and Additional Expenses
Any additional expenses related to the project must be pre-approved by the scheduling team. If you require mileage and other expenses, please let your scheduling manager know so they can determine approval. If the scheduling manager approves the expenses, then the expenses will be added to your invoice by the scheduling manager.
Reporting Parking Expenses
Parking expenses do not require pre-approval – just send your receipt when reporting the ending time. Parking expenses without receipts will not be reimbursed.
Reporting Ending Time
Send us an email with the ending time of each job. Without the ending time, we will not be able to close the jobs, which will cause delays in invoices and payments.
