re: match reports and umpire payments

Hi all ndcua members,

This is an important email.

Please be advised of the system we have in place this year:

• A copy of the match reports will be sent to the treasurer upon receipt
• The treasurer will then be able to arrange payment as your attendance has been confirmed by the match report
  
• Payment will go into your bank accounts and be received no later than the next monthly meeting
• Non receipt of match reports will delay payment for that match or matches (depends how many you don't send in)
  
• We need a match report if the game was washed out
  
• or you attended because the website/wet weather line had not advised you in time ($40 payment)
  

This system is the most efficient for the management committee as this year the appointer and treasurer are not the same person. As your allocated match can vary this is the best way for the treasurer to verify what match you have officiated at.

So, as at today, the following match reports have not been received so payments will be delayed until YOU send it in. I will eventually personally chase you but you may not get paid in the same month as you would normally be. I also advise what umpires were allocated to the match as per the website.

In future I will not write an email like this, I will follow you up in due course but it may be after the payment date as it is not part of my duties to chase umpires who forget to perform their duties in sending in match reports for whatever reason.

Also, we only need one match report from one umpire. I have been receiving two sometimes from each umpire. I only need one each if there is a serious matter and the judiciary is involved. (You need to RING me in that case anyway on the day of the occurrence as we only have a few days to report it at the next level).

So don't let your partner down - if you committed to send it in then don't forget or he may get upset with you.
