Reporting Assignments and Getting Paid
The Colorado Tennis Umpires Association is not an employer. That is to say, we do not withhold tax nor do we pay our officials until we receive payment from the school or tournament who have used our officials. Also, we do not retain any of your earnings. What we bill for you is exactly the amount you will receive. Please follow the steps below to insure quick payment of your services. You should report your hours within 48 hours of a match completion.
College Matches:
After you have completed an assignment you need to report that you worked by emailing Pat Zuraski (pdzuradki@yahoo.com). You may also contact Pat by telephone (719 533-0277). The information you will need to provide is the day and date of your assignment, the exact round trip mileage from your home to the tournament site, the name of the match and the position you worked (referee, umpire, chair). Once everyone has reported, the invoice is submitted. When the payment is received, checks are written and mailed to the officials who worked the match.
Next season, with the full use of UMP, at the completion of your event assignments, e-mail your hours and round trip mileage to the Event Coordinator.
Souther Coloardo CTA, Special Events, Adult, Junior, and Northern Colorado Events:After you have completed an assignment you need to report that you worked by emailing the person who scheduled you – the UMP Event Coordinator. The information you will need to provide is the day and date of your assignment, the exact round trip mileage from your home to the tournament site, the name of the tournament, the time you started each day, the time you ended each day and the position you worked (roving umpire or chair). Once everyone has reported, the invoice is submitted. When the payment is received, the checks are written and mailed to the officials.
Some payments are received sooner than others. Please expect at least a month from the time we mail the invoice before you receive your check. This is a good reason to report your hours as soon as possible. If you have questions at any time about payment, please feel free to contact Pat Zuraski. He is happy to help you in any way that he can.
