Tiered Discounts for Captioning/Transcription
Tiered discounts automatically take effect when the amount of work aggregated across all PSU groups is processed in a one-year period (all entities covered by this contract). For example, after the first tier is reached, the price of 4-day captioning drops from $1.85/min to $1.80/min. After the second tier, the price drops to $1.75/min, and so on. The price resets at the beginning of each year.
