Hello!

Thank you for showing interest in the Harvard Intramural Referee Program! 

We are always happy to bring new referees aboard, and you couldn't have caught us at a better time. 

To get started just follow these simple steps: 

1. Email the Head Referee (harvardheadref@gmail.com) to let us know you're interested. We'll ask you a couple questions and make sure you're right for the job. 

2. Once you get the go ahead from us, please meet Dan L at the Harvard Murr Center (located here). Be sure to email him first (daniel_LaPalm@fas.harvard.edu) to set up a quick appointment before you venture across the Charles. With Alex you fill out the appropriate hiring paperwork, so be sure to bring your passport OR both a government issued license and SSN card (below is a list of document options that you use for the hiring paperwork)

 (Please note: If you have worked for Harvard in the past, you only need to fill out the Student Employment Form.)

3. Once the hiring paperwork is submitted with Alex Carras you can go ahead and enroll in Direct Deposit at Harvard. To do this: 

1. Visit https://hr.harvard.edu/
2. Click the PeopleSoft login (located in the middle of top status bar)
3. Log in with your HUID and PIN
4. Select "Self Service" > "Payroll and Compensation" > "Direct Deposit"

4. Once you have completed steps 1-3, email the Head Referee (harvardheadref@gmail.com) and confirm your work eligibility. We will get you started from there. 

And...

Voila! It's that simple. You're now ready to work at the best job on campus!

1. What do intramural referees do? 

        Referees officiate and oversee 25+ intramural athletic programs to provide a fair, safe, and fun atmosphere for all involved.

1. What is the hourly wage?  

        Compensation is officially $15 per hour. However, referees often make a higher working wage. Extra hours are often granted to referees that pick up high demand shifts or last minute cancellations. Additionally, you will be fully compensated for any cancellations/forfeits. 

1. Do I have to work a minimum number of hours per week?  

       Nope. Sign up for as many or as few shifts that you can accommodate for any given week. (You are limited to working a maximum of only 20 hours per week.)

1. Do I have to be an athlete or have previous experience to be a ref? 

             Nope. If you have no experience you will be scheduled to work with an experienced referee and trained properly.

   5. Once I am a referee, how do I get scheduled to work?

         You will need to fill out you availability for shifts each week. Contact harvardheadref@gmail.com for details.
