Clubs have 14 days to acknowledge a caution and 7 days to acknowledge a red card or accumulation of 5/10/15 cautions offence. This is irrespective of when the invoices are generated in the system. Invoices, which are generated weekly, must be paid within 14 days.
There are two ways or obtaining a late fine; acknowledging a case outside of the timeframes above or by not making payment of an invoice in time.
If a late fine is added for a failure to acknowledge a case, a suspension will be imposed upon the team should this not be paid and the case still not acknowledged. If a late fine is added for failing to make payment of an invoice, a suspension will be imposed upon the entire club should both invoices not be paid.
