If the Interpreter is assisting County staff with <br /> a large volume of telephone calls outside of a scheduled appointment <br /> time, the Interpreter shall complete a Call Log to submit along with an <br /> invoice describing the services performed. This type of service is paid <br /> by the minute,without a one hour minute requirement for payment. <br /> 8. Unexpected Closing or Delayed Opening.
