Recommendation 24

24 Paragraph: 124

Both interpreters and language companies advocate for minimum pay rates.

Conclusion
Both interpreters and language companies advocate for minimum pay rates. Without minimum pay rates, interpreters cannot guarantee their take-home pay for assignments, and companies are incentivised to reduce pay rates as a means of competing for fixed contracts.
