Compensation for DATs

ELA will compensate up to two DATs per day and per event.  Additional DATs should be compensated by the school or site. All DATs are paid a flat $25 per hour rate for all translation and interpretation services that they render beyond and outside of their regular work hours. When requesting a DAT who will be compensated by the school or site, arrangements should be made between the DAT and the school or site. The DAT will request the school's or site's budget "quick code" in order to enter into Oracle the hours worked for that assignment.

Services Provided

DATs are assessed by the district only in consecutive interpretation skills (translation vs. interpretation). If a DAT indicates in the ‘Services Provided' column that he/she can provide translation of documents or simultaneous interpretation, please be aware that this is according to the DAT and that the district currently has no mechanism for assessing translation and simultaneous interpretation skills.
