HOME / COMPENSATIONCOMPENSATION FOR OFFICIALS

Compensation for SNOA officials is updated annually. Below, you will find the current rates for the 2023-2024 school year.

All officials working games or events under the auspices of SNOA serve as Independent Contractors with the Association. Assignments are made by the Assignor through the use of the Arbiter for the particular sport. Assignments are earned and are not guaranteed. All officials are compensated by SNOA and disbursement is made through REFPAY. All SNOA Officials must sign up for a REFPAY account in order to be compensated for games worked within SNOA.

Any official having a discrepancy regarding his/her pay should bring the matter to the attention of their sport assignor immediately. The sport assignor will research the issue, and if an issue is found, the sport assignor will report the issue to the SNOA Treasurer. Any official going directly to the SNOA Treasurer will be referred back to the sport assignor.

High School game fees for Varsity, J.V. and Freshman (B) level games are established by the NIAA on a year to year basis (see NIAA fee schedule below). Fees for auxiliary personnel (basketball/volleyball scorers and timers, volleyball line judges, and football auxiliary personnel) are negotiated separately between SNOA and the Clark County School District (CCSD) as well as some non-CCSD schools that also use SNOA auxiliary personnel. All youth sports rates are negotiated between the organization that SNOA is supplying officials for and the SNOA Board of Control.

All Auxiliary Personnel (basketball/volleyball scorers & timers, volleyball line judges, football auxiliary) will receive $28.00 for all contests worked within SNOA. Travel pay is paid to drivers and passengers for out of town games, in accordance with established mileage tables. Latest information from NIAA shows travel is compensated at the rate of .655 cents per mile for the driver and .24 cents per mile for rider(s). The following table shows what is authorized for travel to out of town schools.

NOTE: Rates are subject to change.
