Pay Scale - 2024/2025
Bonus Program
JLYSL operates a bonus program every Fall and Spring season. After 10 games referees are paid an extra $10 for every subsequent game.
For example:
- If you ref 0-10 games in a season there is no bonus
- If you ref 11 games in a season there is a $10 bonus
- If you ref 15 games in a season there is a $50 bonus
- Etc.
Notes:
- The games must be played in order to qualify for the program.
- The game count for all refs is reset to zero at the end of each season.
- There is no upper limit on the number of qualifying games.
- The bonus will be administered at the end of each season.
- All previous club-level referee reimbursement programs are discontinued.

Special One-Time Bonus for New Referees
In the past, some individual JLYSL clubs operated a uniform reimbursement program for new referees. These schemes are replaced by a league-level bonus.
JLYSL pays a one-time $65 bonus to all new referees after 6 games. The bonus will be administered at the end of each season.

Payments by Stripe
JLYSL uses Stripe to pay referees, in conjunction with Sportlynx.com. This will ensure more accurate and timely payments with significantly less work for volunteer staff. Effective Fall 2021, games assignments and payments will be coordinated through an account you need to establish at Sportlynx.com. Stripe, not Jack London or Sportlynx, will be the keeper of your personal information, so keep track of that password!
