Events To Complete Work Assessment Hours             

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                What is the timeframe to perform/complete work assessment? The CYHA work assessment year runs from May 1st 2008 – next registration 2009 for this year.  After this year the time will be registration – registration.  If you do not complete your 50 hours you will be charged the work assessment fee of $500 at registration.

Who can do work assessment?
Work assessment is performed by parents and family members age 16 and older (at the discretion of the Committee Chair, Event Coordinator, or as required by the type of event). Family members can include grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Youth skaters are encouraged to help in work assessment, but their hours will not be included in the 50 hour total.
Can I do work assessment for another family?
No, active members of CYHA or CFSC may not transfer any hours they have worked to another family.

How do I keep track of my work assessment hours?
Forms are available at the ice arena by the black drop box to fill out as you complete work assessment hours. The form should be filled out EVERYTIME you work, and signed by the committee chair person, or person responsible for supervising the activity that you participated in. The original should be dropped in the black box at the arena.  It is YOUR responsibility to turn in a slip not the person in charge of the event.

Can I do all of my work assessment in one activity? No, the maximum number of hours you can receive for any one activity is 30.

I worked my hours before registration, how do I receive credit so that I do not have to pay at registration?
Registration is held in late September each year. To receive full credit for work assessment prior to registration you need to turn in your work assessment forms by Sept 6th. The forms can be dropped off in the black lock box at the arena.


I worked 40 hours; do I get a pro-rated reimbursement at registration?
No, you must complete ALL 50 hours not to pay the work assessment fee at registration.  A partial reimbursement will not be issued.

Can I sign up for a committee at registration and not pay the work assessment fee?
Families who have served responsibly on a committee at least one full year can receive credit for future work on that committee at registration. Families, who are new to a committee, must pay the work assessment fee and complete the 30 hour work assessment for that one activity plus an additional 20 hours elsewhere to be reimbursed.

I serve on a committee, what constitutes work assessment hours for that committee?
In order for your membership on a committee to count as work assessment, you must attend meetings held by the committee. You must be an active member of the committee by participating in any projects, taking responsibility for a committee activity, and supporting the other members with their responsibilities. Your participation will be approved/verified with the chairperson of the committee. Signing up for a committee does not constitute membership or meeting the work assessment requirement.

Can I donate products or services to complete my work assessment?
The donation of products does not count toward work assessment. You may request documentation for these products for tax purposes. The donation of services that affect the operation of the rink (i.e. plumbing, electrical, carpentry, legal services, accounting etc) without reimbursement would count toward work assessment.

I worked in the concession stand/score box/penalty box when our team had a game, does this count for work assessment? Does cleaning when my team has a cleaning week count?
Team responsibilities do not count toward work assessment hours. Each team handles the concession and scoring duties for their games, and their cleaning week as team duties. If another team requires help with their responsibilities such as when running a tournament, association members may volunteer to assist. Hours worked while assisting count toward work assessment.

I want to learn to drive the Zamboni. Does this cover my work assessment?
Zamboni drivers must be trained and approved by the Maintenance Committee to become eligible to cover their work assessment. Drivers who are assigned to a regular night during the week will receive work assessment credit. A minimum of 6 weeks (6 evenings) is required to fulfill the obligation. Drivers must submit a signed form to receive credit for work assessment hours. Driving the Zamboni for your team games and practices is a team responsibility, the same as scorekeeping, penalty box, or working the concession. If another team requires help with their responsibilities such as when running a tournament, approved drivers may volunteer to assist. Hours worked while assisting count toward work assessment.

I signed my child up for Beginners/Initiation Program/Mighty Mites and he/she was placed on an older team. Do I now have to pay $500 or work 50 hours to cover my work assessment?
No, although your child is now been moved to an age appropriate team, your family is still treated as a Beginner/Initiation Program/Mighty Mites family for your first year.


I am receiving a skating scholarship/financial assistance from CYHA. Do I have to do work assessment?
Yes, you are still expected to complete the 50 hours of work for the assessment obligation. You are not required to pay the $500 fee at registration. Depending on how your financial assistance is structured you may need to pay some or all of the fee if you do not complete the obligation.
