1. Games commencing prior to 6pm on non-holiday weekdays will incur a $15/umpire premium. These games offer a significant challenge to finding umpires as often the umpire must take vacation time or leave work early to work these games. Often this simply isn’t an option.
2. Given the extra time commitment for 9 inning games, there will be a $5/umpire premium. This is only originally scheduled 9 inning games and does NOT included games that go into extra innings.
3. All approved travel expense reports submitted as a result of travel taken on or after that date will be paid out at 35 cents/km.
4. Door to door mileage – where travel is less than 25 km from door to game site, mileage will not be charged. Where travel exceeds 25 km from door to game site, umpires will charge full return (door to door) mileage at the Baseball Alberta rate of 35 cents/km. Umpires may, by individual choice, accept reduced mileage charge. Any decision by an individual umpire will not set a precedent for any other umpire with respect to charging mileage.
5. Any game/weekend completely rained out without notice prior to umpire arriving at field will result in host required to pay travel/mileage and 1/2 of one game fee per umpire to be paid by the host site. Any rained out game(s) where the umpire was notified before leaving home will result in no money awarded to that umpire(s).
6. For rescheduling/cancellation of games (not due to weather): Any host site that does not cancel umpires by 4 pm at least 2 days prior to scheduled game will be charged for umpire fees for one full game of umpires.
7. Teams responsible for scheduling/rescheduling games must provide the game date/time/place to the League/Division Coordinator by 4 pm at least 4 working days prior to game.
8. Any game suspended will result in 1/2 of one game fee to be paid to each umpire, with 1/2 of one umpire fee to be paid to umpires working the remainder of the suspended game; games deemed complete will result in full game fees being paid to umpires.
9. If only one umpire shows up to umpire a game, that umpire will be paid 1.5 times the normal fee. That umpire will have the option of requesting a non-certified volunteer to umpire the bases at a fee of $10/game. If the umpire is able to recruit/find a certified umpire to fill the missing spot, each umpire will receive the normal game fees.
