Credit Where Credit is Due. (But NOT ENOUGH)

Okay, lets at least give Signtalk a bit of credit for changing course on forcing terps to work double WITHOUT double pay. (Sound of one hand clapping. Figure it out.) But what about all those years where you DIDN'T PAY DOUBLE? You paying that back?

BUT, we hope Signtalk keeps on this course and continues to improve ...

Some Suggestions (not only for signtalk but for all agencies:

1. Ditch the cancellation policy. If a client doesn't show up, the Terp gets paid in FULL FOR EVERY HOUR BOOKED, and no reassigning him/her to another job WITHOUT FULL PAY FOR BOTH JOBS.

2. List jobs along with the information of what's involved in the job. i.e. Where and What. Don't ask Terps to accept jobs based on a job number! DUH?! (Are you people friggen idiots?)

3. When they do accept the job, give them accurate information of Where, When and How to Get there. What language is being used (ASL, PSE etc.)

4. Give Terps a RAISE. If you're getting paid 89.95/hour by VESID, stop paying Certified terps 40/hour. YOU DO NOT DESERVE THAT MUCH MONEY FOR THE LIMITED WORK YOU DO. You should get 15% commission PERIOD. IF you think you should get more explain to me why?

OTHER CREDIT...

Bravo to Accurate for immediately changing course/and tone with their new cancellation policy. They are listing to Terps. We applaud that.
