Pay for Mileage Traveled

No compensation is paid for less than 25 miles round trip.  Traveling for 25- 500 miles round-trip, gas mileage will be compensated at the rate of approximately 20 miles per gallon at the current cost of a gallon of regular gas (to be determined by Technical Director).  Judges are expected to carpool or share the cost of mileage.  If over 500 miles roundtrip, then special negotiations may be made.

 

If a judge officiates for less than a full day’s meet, but judges over ½ the meet (and is also competing, or has a family member competing, or must coach a team that competes), then that judge will receive ½ the rate for mileage. If a judge is officiating for less than ½ of the meet, then no mileage will be paid. Exceptions can be made for special circumstances.

                               

Judges who are practice judging or “filling in as needed” will not be compensated for mileage.  “Filling in as needed” refers to those judges who are already at the meet and are asked to judge on an emergency basis (not contracted to judge prior to meet day).  Judges who need to judge to fulfill continuing education requirements will not be paid mileage.

 

Overnight accommodations will be provided to judges when conditions warrant it.  Example: long travel, multiple days judging with early report hours next day.  To be negotiated on a per case basis between meet director and judging director.  Whenever possible, accommodations will be made for 2 judges per room.
