Getting paid

[Ohioref3]

Are there any other associations out there that are still getting paid once a month with a certain percentage that goes directly to the association? My new association has a system that lets us get paid on site with a check waiting for me at the game with my name on it. I paid a $40 fee to my association to work football this year and I also paid $40 to my state association dues which covers me for the whole year in any sport I work.

I was not used to this system, where I come from in the northwest, I was paying $20 to my state association which the money really went towards nothing, then I paid my local association $10 to work each sport, then I only got paid once a month with 9% taken out of my check when I received it. The 9% went to my local association dues. It might not seem like alot, but I was making close to $1000 per month for football, which included high school and youth football, so when I received my check at the end of the month I had $90 go towards local association dues, and over a three month period it added up to almost $300. I though that alot of the money was going towards association fees, but the association was also receiving money from the schools to assign the games. What are other associations doing to keep all of these costs down? I love now getting paid on site with nothing being deducted.
