DVR CHECKLIST UPDATE
==PLEASE READ==

The "DVR Checklist Chicks" have worked 60 plus hours to develop an amended point scale that was reworked with weighting to reflect changes in training that interpreters are now receiving through WYRID, EICP, etc. Point changes were increased in some areas, while downgraded in others. The intent of this new scale was not to increase wages over the old scale, other than those that would normally occur for longevity or new certification in any two-year cycle. This new point scale would hopefully more accurately reflect the skills and criteria that are considered state of the art now, with proper weighting to encompass that criteria.

Completing this form is NOT a guarantee of increased wages, it is merely a "field test." We would be most grateful for your participation. Mail Referendum Ballot on DVR Checklist page.
