FYI - final coaches checks will be processed on or about Monday, July 16th, possibly sooner for teams that have wrapped up their season earlier.
NOTE - No income taxes were withheld from your pay and so it remains each coaches responsibility to reserve funds to satisfy the personal Federal and State income tax liabilities. Salaried coaches who are paid > $600 in calendar 2018 will be issued a Form 1099-Misc in the Winter of 2018 to enable you to declare your income when filing your personal income tax returns.
First of 2 Coaching Payrolls was processed last night. Coach Cugini has your check and will be distributing them at Halderman tonight.
Please cash your checks promptly. Questions on your pay should be directed to Tom Lemieux.

FYI - the checks are based on your attendance at practice and tournaments and predetermined rates of pay through last weekend. No income taxes were withheld and so you are responsible for reporting your income to tax authorities (some will receive an IRS Tax Form 1099-Misc from SCLC in the Winter to help you do this).
