1. DO NOT CALL BONNIE!!!
2. Contact and seek assistance from your Area Representative for that school
3. Or, you may contact the school or ISD directly
   
   • Possibly the reason for non-payment may be a poorly completed pay sheet; make sure you properly fill out the match pay sheet, identifying what function you performed for each match, and what the appropriate game fee was for that function; also properly identify the appropriate travel fee for the venue. Do not leave any of this information up to the judgment of the school personnel.
   • Refer to the school data in the on the website for address and/or telephone numbers for the delinquent school
   • When calling or writing with your inquiry contact only the Athletic Office or Athletic Director
   • When making contact be professional, not adversarial
   • Be prepared to provide necessary information: dates, time, venue, home and visiting teams, your name and position of responsibility, names of other referee crew members and the game fees and travel fees outstanding
   • It is very important that each Referee maintain proper documentation and records for every match

Normal policy though, let the Area Representative contact the school or school district to find out what has caused the problem or delay. Sometimes it is merely a matter as to when the game/match was played, and the pay sheet actually submitted for payment by the Soccer Coach or School Administrator.

Ultimately, you, the Referee, as an independent contractor, have the responsibility to seek and effect the process for game and travel fee payment if there is a delinquent or disputed pay issue. Tarrant Chapter will certainly support your efforts and involve TASO if and when necessary to reach a satisfactory settlement, if your efforts and the outlined procedures are not productive.
SLOW PAYING ISD/SCHOOLS

1. After 30-days from game date, Referee should start process to email or contact the ISD/school AD (be very specific on details; date, time of match, match venue, home team, visiting team, identify referee crew members and game assignments, game fees and travel fees.
2. Contact the Tarrant Chapter Area Representative for the responsible school, and provide the same information as in #1 above.
3. After 45-days from game date re-email responsible ISD/school AD with a copy to the area representative and to Becky Hornisher - coordinator of school and area and reps.
4. Tarrant Chapter Area Representatives should maintain a file of delinquent pay issues and review with Beck Nornisher, Tarrant Chapter Vice President and Mickey Obrien, Tarrant Chapter District 9 Director as the soccer season progresses.
