Overtime Race
For any race that goes over 9 hours, officials will be paid for the time over 9 hours at a rate of $20 per hour, paid in increments every 15 minutes.
1 This figure assumes that the official was onsite and working an hour before and until a half hour after. Officials who arrive late or are released earlier will use their actual onsite and working time to determine their hours worked.
2 Also Starter, Secretary, and Judge/Referee in track events, Chief Timer in time trials, Secretary and Finish Judge in mountain bike races, commissaires that are part of the jury for International road and track races who are not assigned by the UCI, and Assistant Chief Referees in road events when assigned by USA Cycling. At UCI calendar races in the United States when there is a foreign Chief Commissaire, one American official may be designated to be the liaison with USA Cycling and receive a higher fee as determined by USA Cycling.
For stage races, the full daily fee shall be paid for each day, beginning with the prologue and including any rest days.
Officials who are required to be at an event for a non-competition day, such as registration, team meetings, or stage race rest days, will receive half day fees. For track events that take place in two sessions, an official who works only one of the sessions will be paid half day fees.
(b) Site Visits.When deemed necessary by USAC or a Local Association, the organizer will pay the Chief Referee or another designated official $25 for a pre-event venue inspection trip plus $15 for each venue inspection report, in addition to travel expenses.
(c) Expenses. In addition to the daily fee, the organizer shall provide each official with the following:
(1) Round trip transportation from the official's home and during the race, or reimbursement for the transportation according to the published rates of USA Cycling (see part 10, below);
(2) In one-day races lasting five hours or more, either a meal or $10 additional; for races of more than one day when an overnight stay is required, either two meals a day or $25 per day;
(3) Basic housing when overnight lodging is necessary before, during, or after the race;
(4) Reimbursement for any other expenses that are reasonable and necessary for the official's duties.
(d) Cancellation. If it is necessary for any reason to cancel a race after the officials have begun their travel, the Organizer will pay each official for their actual expenses and at least half of the daily fee.
10. Travel Expenses
Individuals traveling on approved official business on behalf of USA Cycling shall be reimbursed normal and actual documented expenses. Transportation expenses shall be reimbursed at 46 cents per mile for travel by personal vehicle but shall not exceed the cost of the lowest practicable airfare. The CEO may specify a more restrictive arrangement.
Ia m nterested in this. It would be great to now more of the rules and for the oppurtunity.
