Referees will receive his/her paycheck about 3 weeks after the end of the season. 

REVIEW PERIOD

When the season is over the referee assignor will send each referee a copy of his/her pay schedule which they are to review. The referee assignor usually gives each referee 72 hours to review the pay schedule and email any corrections needed before submitting the information to the VYS Administrator who will write the checks. During this review period, referees may request any reimbursements (see below under REIMBURSEMENTS) they may be eligible for.

It is the referee’s responsibility to ensure that their work record is accurately maintained/updated online to reflect the games they actually worked so that their pay is correct. If you happen to work a game assigned to another referee, you MUST notify the VYS Referee Assignor to update the online game assignment and then confirm that this has been done so that you will be paid for that game.

PAYCHECK APPROVAL

Once the Administrator has written the checks NO CHANGES TO PAY CHECKS WILL BE ALLOWED FOR THE CURRENT SEASON. The VYS Administrator and Referee Assignor will oversee referee payment for all VYS House matches. 

• Paychecks will be issued by VYS for VYS house/recreational club league game assignments on MySoccerLeague.com. See the VYS Referee Pay Scale below;
• Paychecks will be issued by ODSL for ODSL travel league game assignments on ODSL.org. See the ODSL Referee Pay Scale.

IMPORTANT – ODSL Referee Game Report If you are the Center Referee for an ODSL travel league game, you MUST login to file an ODSL Referee Game Report within 48 hours of the game or else you will not be paid for that game.
