Pay

I am new to officiating and was told we get paid at the game site with a check this upcoming season. I have a friend who says his state pays the officials with a check once a month from their association. I was wondering what the norm around the country is. What do most state or areas do, pay at the site with a check, have the check mailed to them by the school, or get paid by their local group or association.

In my association, we get paid 3 times a year: fall ball (rec), winter ball (HS) and summer ball (rec). We are paid by check from the association. The association bills the schools/rec leagues and then we are paid. I have never been paid directly by the school or league.

In my area (Milwaukee, WI) we get paid by the school and it is about half on the spot and half check in the mail. It usually a week to 2 weeks until it arrives. All playoff games are paid on the spot.

In PA

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 Southern IL

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?

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.

In this state we get paid all kinds of ways. You can work at places that will have a check or cash waiting for you when you arrive at the game site. There are other places that will require a voucher being filled out and you might not get paid until the season is over or weeks after the contest. How we are paid is up to the conference, school or school district.

Peace

Ohio - fill out an voucher 80% of the time and wait 1-8 weeks for your check in the mail. Most of the time, you are paid within about 10 days.

The other 20% is cash or a check on the spot.

At one school in particular, the AD has a check book just for game staff pay and writes your check on the spot. Memo to ADs....WE LIKE THIS!
