Lunch Breaks


Interpreting is a demanding task, so it is important to set aside a designated break time to avoid interpreter fatigue!  The WFOS Healthcare Edition includes pre-determined lunch break preference settings.

From the Administration menu bar, authorized users can navigate to Maintain Company Settings and then Interpreter Settings to designate the [global] lunch start and end times for Interpreters.  Each individual lunch break will be assigned within the designated start and end times.

 

From the Interpreter’s Profile, the Admin can indicate how many minutes the Interpreter should be blocked for their lunch.


This will ensure all interpreters receive a lunch break between the start and end times by blocking their availability in between assignments.

 

NOTE:  Interpreters designated as Freelancer or Agency within the Interpreter profile are not considered.

·         Freelancer – Independent contractor

·         Agency – Third party service provider
