Why do the officials pay for the assigning duties?

Chuck

In Texas, our association is not allowed to charge the schools for scheduling their games. Because of this, in order to compensate the secretaries who do the scheduling, they must be paid by the individual chapter (sorta like a board for you IAABO types).

In our chapter, the secretary is paid $2 for each varsity assignment, and the sub-varsity assignors get $1.25 per game. BTW, our varsity secretary probably makes over $20k per season.

For those of you who get your payments through your local officiating associations, do you also get benefits? This is coming very very close to turning the situation into a employer/emp;oyee kinda thing.
