Boy, I guess we have it good here in the Land of Enchantment. The schools pay the New Mexico Activities Association
before the season even starts. The NMAA pays the respective official's associations. We hand in invoices for the games we officiate at our weekly Monday meetings, and get paid every two weeks. Some officials just keep their invoices until the end of the season and get one check after the season ends.
The larger public schools are the best at paying and the smaller schools have to be reminded, and reminded, and reminded.
The missing paychecks around here are usually for pre-season scrimmage games. I don't know why the schools are delinquent when it comes to scrimmage games. I called 4 scrimmage games in April and was only paid for 2; oh well...
