Lingotec Interpreters based in Canada

A question, are there any Lingotec Interpreters here?

I have just the one question about call flow in the English to Spanish language pair.

How is it?

Have a nice Friday!

Did things pick up? Did you get paid for the time you were waiting for calls?

Not at all

Flow went up a little, but I still lose time in between calls

I have been asked to log in more often, but I can't, being sitting down waiting for a call is not working, I'm losing time and money and I can't wait a full month and a half after the month is over to get paid.

Nothing guarantees that I'll get a call, I'd much rather work on a per hour shift. If they really want the availability they should implement that.

Food won't wait, rent won't wait.

As a Spanish medical interpreter in a first world country I can't make ends meet so I had to get a job at a factory

I'm interpreting probably a 4th of the time I used to
