In Minnesota we don’t have a fee scale for officials. However, the typical payments are:
Referee – $175-$200
Judge – $75-$100
Timekeeper – $75There’s no set travel amount. We usually determine travel or lodging on a case by case basis.
Our inspectors are state employees and are paid around $16 an hour. They do receive travel and meal reimbursements that change year to year based on union contracts. This year the mileage rates are $0.54 per mile.
