Getting paid

[jTheUmp]

Depends on the school... a handful of them will have a check ready for you when you arrive. The majority of them make you fill out a W9 and/or a 'pay voucher', and then they'll mail the check in about 2 weeks or so, depending on when the game occurs relative to their pay cycle.

A couple of schools; however, are seemingly always late with their payments. At one particular school, I worked a 9th grade football game for them around October 1st and didn't get the paycheck until the middle of December.

It really depends on the school and the school district and school board's policy. I have been paid just this week with cash and in other places it will take a week and others it will take about a month. No really consistency in what is done and what they require to be paid. Some fill out vouchers some take information off the Arbiter.

One thing I have found is schools in the Chicago are go through more paper work and delay payment, but schools outside the Chicago area and way outside of the suburbs pay on game day.

Depends on the league here. We have 2 leagues that pay weekly, 1 that holds on to our money & sucks every bit of interest out of it that they can get. Most lower class leagues pay on the spot, with one particular school that pays cash! Anoher school in that league pays through RefPay.

Used to get paid on the spot. Now it is about 50/50. Seeing alot more W9's and vouchers. A week to two weeks and we get a check. Now, instead of stuffing checks into my fun money fund, i am stuffing vouchers! At least the wife can't cash those!

Virtually every way imaginable.

Cash, check on the spot, check mailed by school, check mailed by assigner, ref pay....

Depends on the school/league.

As a general rule this is the easiest that our association follows... we bill the schools at the end of the month and then we usually have our checks from them in two weeks then the checks get mailed to the officials in/around the 20th.
Example... Dec Games you get paid Jan 20th
Jan Games you get paid Feb 20th.
