Your assignment fee is confirmed before you accept.
LaborMap does not reduce your confirmed subcontractor fee after acceptance. LaborMap's user-facing package price may also include operations, scheduling, and admin work.
Translator/interpreter roster
Help foreign workers in Korea through independent language support.
LaborMap is building a vetted roster of independent subcontracted linguists for fixed-fee Language Desk packages. LaborMap sells the package to the user or sponsor, confirms the assignment scope, and pays the linguist the agreed subcontractor fee.
Independent subcontractor model, not employment.
Language Desk packages are sold by LaborMap. Linguists remain independent contractors who accept or decline assignments and are paid by LaborMap under confirmed subcontractor terms.
LaborMap confirms the user-facing scope.
Scope, schedule, travel, urgent-work conditions, confidentiality, and payment timing are confirmed with LaborMap before you accept an assignment.
You are free to accept or decline.
Roster registration is non-exclusive. You use your own tools, set your availability, and may decline any introduction without penalty.
Priority languages.
Each language is shown as available only after at least two vetted linguists are ready.
First roster build
Vietnamese, Chinese, Khmer, Nepali, Indonesian, Thai.
Second expansion
Burmese, Uzbek/Russian, Tagalog/English, Sinhala, Bengali.
Additional coverage
Mongolian, Urdu, Kyrgyz, Lao, Tetum/Portuguese, Tamil.
Possible work and boundaries.
The roster supports communication and faithful language work. It does not turn linguists into legal advisers or representatives.
Possible assignments
- Translation of worker-written fact statements, complaint drafts, messages, contracts, or documents.
- Phone or in-person interpretation for Labor Office calls, interviews, or support-center contacts.
- Native review of LaborMap website content after a separate paid request.
Required boundary
- Translate and interpret faithfully; do not add legal arguments or result promises.
- Do not pressure workers to hire any professional or present an outcome as guaranteed.
- Protect worker personal data, delete materials after the job, and never share with immigration, employers, or third parties without consent.
Pricing and subcontractor terms are roster conditions.
For LaborMap Language Desk packages, transparent fixed pricing protects workers and clear subcontractor fees protect linguists.
No hidden fees or side payments.
The user pays LaborMap for the confirmed package. Do not ask the worker for extra payment, travel money, urgent fees, or side arrangements unless LaborMap has confirmed the exception before acceptance.
Example subcontractor ranges are confirmed by assignment type, language, difficulty, timing, and travel. The user-facing package price may differ because it can include LaborMap operations and admin work.
Screening and onboarding.
Written take-home translation is not the default test because AI use is hard to detect. Live interpretation is a better first filter.
