Working time of interpreter

A travelling time to work is included in the working time. In case using our interpreter service in the downtown of Bangkok, the traveling time to work will be not counted as the working time. For other provinces, the traveling time will be counted in the working time as well and the starting spot will be started from Jmax Recruitment office.

Transportation fee for interpreter

A working place where an interpreter can travel by a sky train or subway will be free of charge. For other cases, wherever an interpreter has to travel by him/herself, the travelling fee will be charged equivalent to the metered taxi fare or adjusted as appropriate.

Overtime payment for interpreter

In case an interpreter is required to work over 8 hours, an additional charge of the working time will occur (See the service charge on the table above). In case an interpreter is required to work for half a day and there is an additional hour, the service fee will be raised to the same as requiring an interpreter for a full day. Please be informed here and there is no reduction in service fees even if the actual working hours are shorter than the time reserved.
