Production Companies Frequently Asked Payroll Questions
Where should I send my payroll, to the Casting office or to
Entertainment Partners?
Our payroll department is in the EP building at 2835 N. Naomi St., Burbank, CA. Completed vouchers should be sent to this address rather than the casting office on Flower Street. While we do have a runner between the buildings, sending the vouchers to the casting office invariably causes a delay in processing.
Which voucher copy do you need back?
As the Employer processing the payroll, it is important that we receive the original or “top copy” of the voucher back. If your show falls under the jurisdiction of the SAG Schedule X-Part II agreement (i.e. SAG NY, etc.), please send the SAG copy to us as well so we can forward it onto SAG along with the payroll report as per the SAG contract. Keep the Production copy for your records.
Can you process the vouchers if we fax them to you?
We will process vouchers we receive by fax. However, we still do need to have the originals sent to us. Please note on the vouchers that they were previously faxed before sending them to us.
How soon can you generate an invoice? Can we have an invoice before the payroll is processed?
We are unable to generate an invoice without having the payroll to process. Barring any complications, any payroll received before 2:00 PM should be processed that same day, and the invoice will be ready the following morning. Payroll received after 2:00 PM will be processed the next day, with the invoice ready the following morning (i.e. 2 days later).
Can I receive a photocopy of the background actors’ checks along with
my invoice?
We send a check register along with the invoice cover sheet. We do not photocopy checks for security reasons and to comply with government privacy laws.
When I pay your invoice, who should I make the check out to, Central Casting or Entertainment Partners?
The check should be made out to Entertainment Partners and sent to the Naomi Street address. Please reference the invoice number on your check.
