Expense policies

Common Languages Expense Policy 
While we operate as a non-profit organization, we appreciate and encourage contributions from our collaborators and we gratefully accept solidarity payments from those who can. Utilizing a sliding scale, organizations contribute varying amounts based on their resources and capacities. These contributions purpose are solely used to pay for interpreters' development. 

Can I claim solidarity pay? 
As part of the Common Languages community, you might have taken part in activities which might be retributed. As stated in our Volunteer Agreement, for volunteers to access our Solidarity Pay you must have followed the Common Languages onboarding training and been active in projects and events for at least 10-15 hours. 

Our 10-hour policy is a measure to ensure continuity, development and experience in our movement interpreters. Once you have done so, we will send you a message indicating the hours you have contributed to the project and you are eligible to claim. If you wish to continue volunteering, you can decide not to claim your hours, yet your experience and level as a contractor interpreter will remain acknowledged through certificates and letters of recommendation. 

We prioritise the upskilling of non-qualified movement interpreters and warmly welcome the solidarity of professional interpreters volunteering with us or working for solidarity rates.

How much will I be paid? 
Our rates will be specified in our email, depending on the funds available at the period. Payment will remain the same for all of our movement interpreters, as we aim to become a fair-pay organization. As an indication, we regularly work with a solidarity pay of 25 pounds per hour in alignment with the UK government's recommendation.  

Solidarity payments are not made immediately after each event; instead, every 6 months we conduct an assessment based on individual engagement, after that, solidarity payments are distributed based on received contributions.

What can I invoice for? 
Expenses will be covered for costs which support and progress the Common Languages project, for example, and non-exhaustively: 
  • Interpretation Support
  • Translation Support 
Please note that at this stage we are unable to cover expenses such as: 
  • Travelling expenses
  • Equipment expenses 
  • Any other special expenses such as training expenses, room rentals, etc 

What do I need to submit?
In order for the payment to be accepted you must upload a valid receipt or invoice clearly showing the total amount, date, legal address, and what the payment is for (amount of hours and event). 

When will I receive the money? 
Expenses must be documented with a receipt or an invoice and approved by the collective admin. Collective admins (Clara and PG) will review payments no later than 28 days after the submission of the receipt. 

If you have any questions or seek further assistance please contact us at [email protected] with ‘INVOICE' on the subject.
