Ethics

Interpreters must keep all assignment-related information strictly confidential.

Interpreters may not solicit work independently from an IEC customer within one year of their last contact with that customer and with IEC. This means you may not solicit, accept, or negotiate (in any way) independent work or employment through contacts made while on IEC assignments. Violators of this ethical trust may face litigation.

As independent contractors, interpreters are not limited to working exclusively for IEC, in fact, they are encouraged to work with other agencies and private customers. However, all requests for interpreting from our customers should be directed to us and channeled through the usual IEC scheduling procedure.
