Premier league referees are drawn from a bunch of people who are on professional contracts. Not sure of exact overall figure (it's something like annual salary of £85,000). Payment for game includes basic pay plus 'performance bonus' (independently marked).
Some premier referees will do Championship games if not enough Premier games on that weekend, or they have made a high profile mistake in a recent Premier game. Championship payment is less, and these are not full-time refs. The only Premier ref with another employer is Steve Bennett who is a part-time policeman.
