N.M. Admin. Code § 6.102.2.11 - FEE SCHEDULE

Interpreters who travel less than 75 map miles for the assignment may charge a minimum two hour fee per assignment. The minimum fee is four hours when the interpreting assignment requires traveling 75 plus map miles one way. An interpreter traveling 25 miles or more one way to an assignment may charge mileage. Fee schedules for long-term assignments (e.g. college or vocational training) should be negotiated between the agency and the interpreter. Travel expenses shall be reimbursed at the rates established for New Mexico state employees. For interpreting assignments that are longer than 2 hours, the hiring of more than one interpreter is strongly suggested due to the fatigue level experienced during long assignments.
