May I pick up my paycheck from Casting Payroll?

At this time, we do not have the resources for checks to be picked up. Paychecks are handled in a secure area with 24-hour surveillance and are delivered by our bonded driver directly to the post office. Casting checks are sent by first-class mail. While most checks are received within 5 to 7 business days after being mailed, there are times when it may take longer, particularly during holiday periods. Please allow 10 business days for the payment to be processed and mailed to you.

My check stub shows I have so many days for sick time but was told I have hours only. I have sick time available; how do I take it?

The sick leave (Avail/Accrued) balance shown on your check stub is hours available, not days. You accrue one hour of sick time for every 30 hours of work.

To take sick time you must be scheduled to work on a Central Casting show. If you become ill/sick, email sickpay@centralcasting.com to advise them that you are calling out sick. Central Casting will notify the payroll department and they will process the sick time payment.
