There are two methods by which officials are paid, depending on the location of the home school. The payment method is chosen by the school.
Method 1: Paper Check
All schools in St. Johns, Nassau and Clay counties, plus private schools in Duval County pay officials directly via a paper check. Payments are based on a paper sign-in sheet at each game. Each time you sign in for a game, you must provide an address label, pre-printed from a computer, that includes your name, address, phone number and email address. The label size is 1″ by 2-5/8″. The most common version is made by Avery and is available in one version for ink jet printers (8160) and another for laser printers (5160). The labels are available in all office supply stores and at Amazon, and probably a lot of other places. You can find label templates for Microsoft Word and other programs on the Avery website.
In addition, the first time each season you work at one these schools, you must provide a completed W-9 form. All officials should have printed address labels and W-9 forms in their ref bags.
You should receive payment from these schools within two weeks of your assignment.
Method 2: Arbiter Pay
All Duval County Public Schools use ArbiterPay to pay officials. All you need to do is set up ArbiterPay and verify that your assignments in Arbiter are accurate. Your pay is based on the assignments in Arbiter.
If you are new to NFSOA, you may not know which Duval schools are public and which are private. Just ask the other members of your crew when they contact you before the game. Also ask them where the check-in location is. It is usually at the ticket window, but the location varies by school.
