MILEAGE <br /> Interpreter mileage will be reimbursed in accordance with the prevailing Administrative <br /> Office of the Courts Policy. Notification will be sent prior to rate changes. <br /> Mileage will be reimbursed on a from "address of origin"t to "address of appointment"2 • <br /> basis. The Court and interpreter will negotiate reimbursement for mileage traveled from <br /> the "address of appointment'to "address of destination"3 on a case-by-case basis. <br /> (NOTE: Courts are encouraged to have a consistent policy regarding the return trip.) In <br /> Eastern Washington, due to the scarcity of interpreters and vast distance, it is <br /> recommended that the Court reimburse the interpreter for mileage on an "address of <br /> appointment"to "address of destination"or roundtrip basis4. <br /> Interpreter mileage related to an appointment is billable if a required party fails to <br /> appear. "Failure to appear" means a non-appearance by the LEP or deaf or hard of <br /> hearing client, attorneys, witnesses, or any necessary party to a hearing, thereby <br /> necessitating a cancellation or continuance of the hearing. <br /> if the interpreter fails to appear, they will not be paid for mileage. <br /> Mileage related to appointments that have been cancelled where the interpreter has <br /> received prior notice of the cancellation is not billable. <br /> • <br /> Address Mileage Address of Mileage Address of <br /> Origin Appointment I Destination <br /> $ $? <br /> r <br /> Billable Subject to <br /> Negotiation <br /> °"Address of origin'means the interpreter's home,office,or immediately previous appointment meeting <br /> place. <br /> 2"Address of appointment"means the courthouse or other location of the interpreter assignment. <br /> 3"Address of destination'means the interpreter's home,office,or immediately next appointment meeting <br /> place. <br /> 4"Roundtrip°means from the interpreter's home/office to the appointed meeting place,followed by the <br /> interpreter's return to their home/office. <br /> Washington State interpreter Services Funding-Exhibit A Page 5 of 6 <br />
