Getting paid
Just curious, how long does it take these days for you to get paid for doing public HS games?
Every state has its rules for spending public money, sometimes a school board has to actually vote on paying the bills so you have to wait for that. But I get the idea that some less-well-heeled districts sit on paying bills for 60 days or more to get a bit more interest on bank deposits or avoid having to pay tax anticipation notes.
I'm seeing districts creep up from what used to be two weeks to two months.
My checks all go in the summer vacation account, so at today's interest rates it doesn't matter as long as I get paid before Saratoga opens, but is it my imagination or are our receivables aging more than they used to?
Let us raise a glass of cheer to rec leagues that pay with the Irish handshake, and to spouses who actually believe that "tonight was a volunteer game for the kids, the association likes us to give back to the community."
