One of the best things abput ArbiterPay IMO.

While needing to report all earnings is a pain (not that big a pain, but still...), I like it and haven't had a problem yet.

Sorry to resurrect this old dog, but one of the schools in my area is going strictly ArbiterPay, and my question is:

Will the site automatically mail you the 1099 or otherwise give you a heads up in January/early February that one is available on the site for print?

And just confirming, the 1099 reporting by ArbiterPay begins right at Dollar 1, correct?

I believe officials get an e-mail when their 1099-MISC is available for download/printing -- usually on or before January 31.

It's probably more convenient and cost-efficient for ArbiterPay to notify officials by e-mail instead of snail mailing every single official in the system their copies of Form 1099-MISC.

I love it, it makes it easier to get paid. We are supposed to report the income anyway. Also, it is not like every game you work is going to use this method anyway. The games where people get most of their side officiating money is not going to likely use ArbiterPay anyway. It is a huge much to do about nothing if you ask me worrying about a 1099. If you get audited anyway, they will look through your bank accounts and I doubt most of us get total cash for everything. Great system and easier to keep track of what you are paid.

My only issue is you're most likely now you may only see your money a month or more after the games. Usually you get it whenever the teachers get their checks cut. Probably not getting paid the day of the game again.

The majority of schools using ArbiterPay that I've officiated for pay within 1-3 business days after a game. There are also some that pay officials the same day once they've been verified as present and officiating the contest provided someone is still available that can make the ArbiterPay transaction. Otherwise, the payment is made the next business day.

Those schools that pay less frequently tend to be public schools that pay officials on the same periodic schedule as other school district vendors. That has nothing to do with ArbiterPay itself and is more a matter of district payment policy.

Actually get paid most of the time within days. Some schools are better than others, that is just going to always be the reality. Not much different than working games where they pay. Used to fill out vouchers only to have them not send checks until weeks later. This is often rather quick and even though it was not specifically Arbiter pay, I worked a scrimmage yesterday and had the notice of the money being sent before I left the campus grounds.
