| Mileage |
Mileage is paid to officials 16 years of age and older only.
NorCal youth games: $0.58 per mile for trips in excess of
30 miles round trip
(measured from the closest rink to the official's home)
San Jose tournaments: $50/day for officials from S. Lake Tahoe and
Fresno; $25/day for officials from Santa Rosa, Vacaville, Roseville,
and Stockton; $10/day for other officials traveling more than 60
miles round trip; one day's pay only if tournament is also paying
for a hotel room.
Other youth tournaments: Mileage will be paid as a $20 flat rate per day for eligable officials.
Mileage reimbursements are intended to incent senior and experienced officials to travel to differing locations for a variety of purposes. It offers clubs the ability to have different officials referee their teams' games. It offers officials the chance to visit different venues and see different teams and players outside their local area. It provides the organization with developmental opportunities at higher levels while providing officials the incentive to spend more time on the weekends "on the road."
When assignments are provided as an accommodation for officials for personal reasons, or for youth officials, who because of playing schedules have limited availability, mileage is not billed to the clubs and paid to the officials. The clubs must incur the cost of travel. If they do not receive benefit from the officials' traveling to their rink, it is not reasonable to expect them to pay for it. As these expenses increase, it further escalates the costs of youth playing hockey and could potentially make the sport unaffordable for some.
The IHONC scheduler will make the final decision on whether or not mileage will be reimbursed. |
| Norcal Playoffs |
Norcal youth playoff games will pay 150% the normal pay rate for the level. However, no mileage will be paid for these games.
|
| Rink Cancelations |
If one or more games are canceled due to an "act of god" (power outage, bad ice, etc), unless you are not notified in advance, if you show up to work, you will be paid for the first assigned game. If you were scheduled for more than one game, and are told before the start time of the second game that subsequent games are canceled, then you will only be paid for the first game. If the rink asks you to wait beyond the start time of a subsequent game in hopes that the problem will be resolved and the subsequent games will be played, then you will be paid for each time slot that you are asked to remain on-site for.
For example, if you are scheduled for 3 games in Oakland, and show up, to be informed that the ice is bad, and that all games for the night are canceled, then you will be paid for the first game only. If instead, they ask you to wait until the start time of the third game to see if the ice can be repaired, then you would be paid for the first and second games. If the third game is then canceled, you would only be paid for the third game if they ask you to wait into the time slot for it in hopes of starting late, but still playing the game.
Note: The intent of this policy is to fairly compensate officials, while still being cooperative with our partner leagues when disasters happen. Lost ice is disappointing to players, and quite expensive for the leagues. IHONC expects member officials to be understanding of this, and to work with rink staff in these cases. (Remember, you ARE still getting paid for the first 90 minutes in all cases. Be professional!).
|
| Note: |
Only the IHONC scheduler is authorized to assign officials to IHONC
games. If you officiate an IHONC game for which you are not formally
scheduled, you may not be paid. See
Scheduling Process for more detail. |

| No Fine for Cancellation: |

officiating a prior game
- if the official's playing schedule conflicts with the official's
assignment, as long as the conflicting schedule was published after
IHONC availability was due (IHONC-scheduled games only)
- if the assignment does not fit within the official's availability
and game preferences specified on the web site
Cancellation fines will not be waived for illness and non-officiating
injuries, due to past abuses of the policy.
|
| Note: |
Cancellations must be confirmed by scheduler, otherwise
they count as no-shows. Within 72 hours of game, cancel
by calling scheduler (adult games: 1-925-352-5203; youth games:
650-208-4820). Otherwise, cancel by email to the scheduler (adult
games: Blong.ihonc@gmail.com;
youth games: mmauro1207@aol.com).
Please do not attempt to arrange for another official to take your
place, since you may not be aware of key information needed to
choose a proper substitute. (It would not save you the game
cancellation fine in any case.) Let the IHONC scheduler arrange for
a substitute.

| Playoffs and Tournaments |
All fines doubled. |
| The IHONC scheduler will make the final decision on all
fines based on these general policies, the official's prior history,
and the details of the specific incident. |
If you have any questions about these tables, please contact
the IHONC president, Todd Llewellyn.
