# What is PAH!'s cancellation policy? \[interpreters\]

by [The PAH! Team](https://www.pahapp.com/interpreter-knowledge-base/author/pahteam) on April 22, 2025

#### ❌ Cancellation Policy

We’re big on fairness—for you, and for the Deaf Community. So here’s how cancellations work at PAH!

---

#### If a Deaf person cancels:

- **More than 24 hours before the booking:**  
  → The customer isn’t charged.  
  → The interpreter isn’t paid.
- **Less than 24 hours before the booking:**  
  → The customer is charged the full cost.  
  → The interpreter is paid in full.

Easy.

---

#### Co-interpreter jobs are slightly different..

PAH! doesn’t find your co-interpreter for you. That’s part of how we give you total freedom and flexibility as a freelance interpreter.

If you know a job needs a team interpreter, it’s **your responsibility** to flag this with the customer as early as possible—ideally, weeks / days in advance.

 

But, if you get to **24 hours before the start time**, and there still isn’t a second interpreter confirmed:

- You’ll receive a **notification reminding you** that a team hasn’t been filled.
- You can **withdraw from the booking at that point—no penalty**.

24 hours before the start of the booking, the customer can choose to either:

##### ❌ Cancel the booking

→ The customer won’t be charged.

OR

##### ✅ Go ahead with one interpreter

→ Only if you agree.

→ Make sure breaks and sustainable working conditions are clearly negotiated.

---

 

⚠️ **Important:** If *you* choose to stay on a solo booking within 24 hours, and the **customer then cancels**,

→ You will not be paid.

→ We can only pay you for bookings that go ahead.

---

#### Recap:

- You're the boss—you decide if a team is needed.
- You’ll get a reminder at the 24-hour mark if a co-interpreter isn’t confirmed.
- No co? You can withdraw without any penalty.
- But if you *choose to stay* and the customer cancels within 24hrs → **you won’t be paid.**
- But you **can** *choose to do the booking as a solo interpreter.*
