In Western PA, we are paid by the school district at the game by check.

For playoff games, we are paid by the State a month or so after the playoffs are done.

In my area, we are paid at the game. Usually the checks are in our locker room waiting on us. Other times, the AD will come meet us in case there are any problems and then give us the check. Obviously, in a gym I'm new to, I prefer the second one.

We get paid monthly. Schools pay our association. Association treasurer pays us our game fees for the previous month in additition to paying our 2 assignment commissioners (high school & rec league) who get 8% of our game fees.

For anything other than school ball we get paid twice a month. For school ball, we get paid at the end of the season. The money goes from the schools to the association and then the association pays us. We do not deal directly with an AD or anyone like that. Our assigning fees that get taken out are 5% on the girls side and 6.5% on the boys side.

Wow that's a bargain, I heard that the association I work for charges a Booking fee10% to 15%, a game fee which is almost $30 over our officials pay and then they take a 10% fee out of our checks..

What is the High School Varsity rate in your states?

[RonRef]

In WI are rates for varsity games range from $50-$65 dollars!

Most varsity games are assigned by a conference commissioner paid by the schools, nothing is taken out of our checks. In my area assign the lower level games and I am paid by our association through our dues. I will I got paid 5% or 6.5 % or 10%, might have to bring that up at our next general meeting?

In my area we are paid by the home team school district...normally 2-4 weeks after the game (depending on their AP cycle). Nothing is withheld for the chapter, assignor or Uncle Sam.

Up side to this is that unless you work a lot of games for a particular district, you will not be getting a Form 1099...so the decision to report the income is up to the individual...and failing to report cannot be noticed by the IRS...not that I would ever do something like that...or suggest that others do that...that would be illegal.

This is criminal. You should lead a revolt of the membership. That's outrageous.

Why is that criminal?

At the very least they know about what the fees are. We work for assignors and no one knows what the assignors are paid for assigning games. What the schools pay the assignor should be between the schools and the assignor.

What's the difference if the assignor gets paid by the membership in form of kickback or directly by the school? The bottom line is it costs each school $X per game for officials, and that cost includes assignors fees.

Are you suggesting assignors should not get paid?
