How to set up scheduling fees

Charging assigning, association, scheduling, processing, or administrative fees

New Horizon Experience. This article describes the New Horizon Experience, which is available now. As of September 28, 2026, New Horizon is the default starting point on a computer or laptop. In the Horizon WebRef mobile apps for Android and iOS, New Horizon is already what you see. If you still have the older layout, choose Switch to New Horizon from the banner or your account menu. You can switch back to Legacy Horizon from that menu any time during the transition.

​

This article is for organization administrators who set scheduling, processing, or administrative fees. There are two main places to set those fees up. Most organizations use one or the other, not both. Using both can help in uncommon cases. Set fees up before you assign officials when you can. You can change the structure later, but updating fees after assignments are already on the board takes more care. For a one-game change, open Edit fees for an assigned official on the Master Game Schedule.

Global Fees

​

Global Fees let you charge a scheduling, processing, or administrative fee to officials, or add a fee to team or league invoices. Those amounts sit on top of the regular assignment fees paid for working the games. Open System Settings, then choose Global Fees. The same fees apply on every game in the organization, so you cannot vary them by game level or by individual game from this screen alone.

On a computer, the same Global Fees area shows both organization deductions and the invoice add-on in one view.

If the fee is charged to officials, use Assignor fee and/or Association fee under Organization fees. If the fee is charged to teams or leagues, use Add fee to invoice under Invoice add-on fee. Choose how that invoice fee applies (for example Per Game). Changes save on the page when the green All changes saved message appears.

Position Fees

​

Position Fees take more setup, but they give you much more control by game type and level. Organization administrators manage them on Positions (from Game Structure, or from Administrative Forms in the older layout) using Billable fee and Deductions.

Add Position on a phone with the Fees section open. An orange ring marks Billable fee and Deductions.

On a computer, open Add Position or edit an existing position, expand Fees, and enter the same fields.

Add Position on a computer with Fees expanded. An orange ring marks Billable fee, Deductions, and Net pay to official.

Billable fee is what you invoice to teams or leagues for that position. Include any scheduling, processing, or administrative amount you want on that invoice. Deductions is the difference between what you invoice and what the official receives. For example, if the official should be paid $100 and you want a $5 fee, enter a Billable fee of $105 and a Deduction of $5. Net pay to official shows the result. By default, officials do not see that breakdown. To let officials see gross pay, turn on Feature #40 in System Settings so they can view Gross Pay.

​


​

Per-game position fees

​

Horizon invoicing is based on per-position fees. If you want a scheduling, processing, or administrative fee that feels like a single per-game charge, split it across positions or put the full fee on one position and leave the others at zero.

​

For example, if you want a $10 fee per game with two officials each paid $100, you have two options:

​

  • Split the fee: Enter a Billable fee of $105 and a Deduction of $5 on each position. Two officials then total $10 in deductions for the game.

  • Add the fee to one position: Create separate positions (for example Head Referee and Referee). Put Billable fee $110 and Deduction $10 on Head Referee, and Billable fee $100 with Deduction $0 on Referee. The $10 fee lands only on the Head Referee position when both are assigned.

​


​

One-game fee changes on Master Game Schedule

​

After officials are assigned, you can still adjust fees for a single assignment. On the Master Game Schedule, open the assigned official and choose Edit fees. Update Billed Game Fee, Deduction to Official, travel, and related fields, then choose Save Adjusted Fees only when you mean to keep the change.

On a computer, the same Edit fees window shows the adjustment fields beside a fee preview for that game.

If you still see the older layout

​

On a computer or laptop, System Settings, Positions, and Master Game Schedule may still use the older layout if you switched back to Legacy Horizon. Choose Switch to New Horizon to return. In that older layout, Global Fees still live in System Settings, position Billable Fee and Deductions live on the Positions List under Administrative Forms, and a one-game change often starts from the $ symbol next to an assigned official on the Master Game Schedule.
