Payment Procedures

Below are some important details regarding Payments for games worked by umpires.

Independent Contractor Status:  First and foremost, any and all game assignments are contracts between you and the team/school.  FVB is not responsible for any payments, holds no contracts with any clients, and is not responsible for anything related to your assignments and pay.

IHSA Contests:
All schools will pay Umpires directly, some at the field, some in the mail or electronically up to a month later.  It is the umpire's responsibility to track all payments and ensure they have been paid.  Please wait 3 weeks before contacting the school, and when you do, please use the utmost courtesy.  If no luck after that, contact the Assignment Supervisor who assigned you the game, and they will ensure you are paid.  

IHSA Rates - Both BB and SB (in effect with 2024 season):
Varsity:  $77Single; $154 DH
Lowers:  $74 Single;  $148 DH
