Many associations collect game fees from the schools, etc. and then pay the umpires and issue 1099s.

Not where I live, but a place where I used to live.

That is how it is done out here.

And I said umpires -- I meant officials. Clearly my mind is in baseball mode - I've worked 9 games in the last 5 days.

What Rich said...they pay us on behalf of the schools and issue the 1099s. The schools don't ask for or get our SSNs. I'd rather have one organization get them than 100 schools.

I see your point there, but schools are USED to having employees, and have protocols and programs for keeping private information private.

Associations are very often just an amalgamation of ex-officials pitching in... the guy in charge of the information is very likely 6 different guys over 10 years - and none of them trained in information security.

Given the choice between 100 schools who are able to keep things secure, and 6 average joes who have no clue how to (or even that it's important), I choose the schools.

Ok, so less rare where you are... but I still ask. UNLESS I'm being paid by my association, why would they need my SSN?
