Additional Pay Information
Mileage Claims:
Rugby Ontario will be submitting mileage claims on behalf of the following for all regular season and playoff matches:
- Match Officials
- Coach of Match Officials
- Performance Reviewers
Mileage will be pulled from SportLoMo (be sure your postal code is accurate in the system) on the first of each month for the appointments from the previous month. Referees will receive $0.61/km for any round trip of 51km or more.
Referees will be appointed as locally as possible. A referee will not receive mileage when appointed outside their region because the referee has informed appointers that their personal schedule has taken them outside their region but, they would still like to officiate.
Only referees who are registered with Rugby Canada and Rugby Ontario, and are appointed through SportLoMo are eligible to receive mileage payment.
Mileage is not provided for Exhibition game appointments.
Notification of payment will occur by the 15th of the month following the appointments (i.e. May appointments will be pulled June 1st and notification sent by June 15th). Note, if the 15th falls on a weekend, notification will be sent by the following Monday.
Notifications of payment will be through email using Plooto (www.plooto.co). When you receive an email from Plooto, know it is safe to follow to the outlined instructions to receive your payment from the Ontario Rugger Union.
If you have any questions about payment, please email referee@rugbyontario.com
