For agencies💵 Billing & Payouts

Pay your interpreters (payout batches)

Group approved interpreter earnings into a payout batch, choose a payment method, and track it through to paid.

Once a job's billing is approved, the interpreter's earnings become payout-ready. You collect those into a batch per pay period and mark it paid when funds go out.

Step by step

  1. 1Open Billing and go to the Interpreter Payouts tab to see all payout-ready (approved) interpreter earnings.
  2. 2Filter by employment type if you want to handle contractors and employees separately.
  3. 3Select the approved earnings you want to include in this batch.
  4. 4Choose a payment method (ACH CSV, Stripe, check, or manual) and create the batch.
  5. 5When payment has actually gone out, mark the batch as paid to stamp each included job as paid.
  6. 6If you need to undo a batch, delete it to revert its jobs back to approved.

Tips

  • Only approved earnings are eligible; this includes late-cancellation jobs that have no closeout but were billed.
  • Deleting a batch reverts the jobs rather than erasing their state, so nothing is lost.
  • Each batch gets its own sequential number for your records.
  • A payout pays the amount that was frozen when you approved the job's billing. It is never recalculated later, so a rate change made after approval does not quietly move what someone is owed. The bank export uses that same frozen figure.
  • Once a batch has been synced, the Sync button switches off so the same contractors cannot be billed twice. If a sync fails part way through, running it again picks up only what did not go across.
  • Contractors covered by a purchased time block are paid for their mileage. Their service time and travel time are already covered by the block, but mileage is a cost they carried, so it is not zeroed out.
