Getting paid

[Welpe]

We are paid by each school district (or by the schools for private schools).

Some districts, including the big H, are notoriously slow at cutting checks others have a quick turnaround but the average for me seems to be 30-45 days. The nice part is that since we're paid by the district, we could have several assignments on one check.

Then there is the issue of schools losing our paperwork (or a PO'd coach holding it until the very last day). It took me over a year and several phone calls to get paid for three assignments from one district.

For six man football games I work, some schools pay in cash or check on site. Those are nice but I feel a little funny when we get handed plain envelopes full of money.
