We have 45 available interpreters in the Suwanee area.
REGULAR Hours (7am to 5pm) $65/hour
AFTER Hours (5pm to 7 am) $75/hour
EMERGENCY (scheduled within less than 24 hours) $85/hour
2 hour minimum, to be charged even if interpreter is only needed for
an hour.
Yes
No, we charge mileage under certain conditions, but not travel time.
Mileage is charged 1) only if local interpreter is not available and 2)
round trip is more than 50 miles. After 50 miles, standard IRS mileage
rate applies, at $0.59/mile.
Emergency Requests can be accomodated within 1 to 2 hours.
Because our interpreters are independent contractors, they are
available when needed. We have a three tier pricing system: Regular
(7 to 5), After Hours (5pm and overnight to 7am), and Emergency
(requested within less than 24 hours). The pricing increases per tier.
Emergency Requests are made within less than 24 hours notice,
24 hour cancellation policy, or the scheduled time will be charged.
Yes, upon contract award we are open to negotiating various
additional charges.
A confirmed daily schedule (for an 8 hour day) would receive a
discount in relation to the hourly rate. Therefore, rather than
$520/day (which would be $65 x 8 hrs) we would charge $475/day,
and would consider further reductions based on volume. This would
include mileage and travel.
Yes, we provide Video Remote Interpretation and Telephone
Interpretation, both of which are available on demand. For
further information on these services, please contact Amanda
Caraker (Proposal Writer) at [email protected].

As your dedicated staffing partner, we will strive to exceed parent, student and
district expectations at all times. In fact, we employ a customer service model
– including company goals, extensive employee orientation and training,
organizational structure, account reporting and client feedback systems. Our
comprehensive system is designed to provide superior customer service and
allow for prompt resolution if we fall short of that goal.
In addition, we provide our clients with a dedicated account team and 24-hour
On-Call Coordinators that collectively provide around-the-clock support to
your schools to ensure access to a qualified representative who can answer
questions or resolve issues, regardless of the time of day.
However, if problems are not resolved within your account team, it can be
escalated to four separate field management levels (branch managers, regional
vice presidents, business line presidents and company CEO). In addition, our
Quality Assurance and Clinical Services Department – which is independent of
our field structure, avoiding any concerns over operational conflicts of interest
– serves as another point of review and concern escalation.

McKenzie DiNome is our Account Manager for School Districts in Georgia.
McKenzie is supported by a Professional RFP & School Division
Administration Department, who will take responsibility for all the
requirements stated by the School Board and Purchasing Departments. When
there is a general level of dissatisfaction expressed by the supervisor of the
assignment, parent or administrators, or if there is a candidate that intents to
back out of an assignment for a medical or maternity leave, we will begin an
immediate search for a replacement therapist. If this particular occurrence
were to exist, we encourage the completion of the term through dialogue and
incentive. If no agreement is reached, finding a replacement becomes the
company’s top priority. It takes us anywhere from 1 hour up to five days for us
to fill a replacement need. However, due to the strong relationship that we
keep with our therapists, our percentage of “no show or cancellations issues”
is minimumIn. GCPS will have a response team that can be reached 24 hours a
day.

assignments?
Both parties should provide a 30 days written notice without fees or penalty.
When there is a general level of dissatisfaction expressed by the supervisor of
the assignment, parent, or administrators, Ardor Health will follow all terms

work with the District to conduct ongoing observations of job competence and
periodic review of performance of the Educational Healthcare Professional
