Update your address online
Updating your mailing address from your myEP profile is the standard, recommended method.

⁠⁠Requirement: Your Payroll Profile must be connected to your myEP account before you can change your mailing address. You have a Payroll Profile once you have been paid by EP. If you have never received a check from EP, you will not have a Payroll Profile.

1. Log in to myEP.
2. If you haven’t already, connect your Payroll Profile.
3. Go to the navigation bar (left hand on desktop, bottom on mobile) and select “My Account”. You will be routed to the "My Profile" page. From here you will be presented with any applicable addresses based on your role and how you have been paid.
4. Click on the ‘Edit’ option for the address you would like to update. A screen will open with the current address on file.
5. Select and edit the information you wish to change.
6. Click the ‘Save’ button to complete and submit your changes.

Your changes will be reflected in the ‘My Profile’ page.

MyEP address updates may take up to 24 hours to process.

Paper vouchers
If your production is using Central Casting paper vouchers, you may write in your new address on the lines provided on the voucher itself. Write clearly and carefully.

Note: If the written address on the paper voucher is different from the address in myEP, it will be assumed that the paper voucher address is more recent and correct. To avoid confusion, update the address in myEP to match the new address you wrote on the voucher.

To take sick time you must be confirmed as booked (i.e., scheduled) to work on a Central Casting show for the day for which you want to use sick leave. If you are not scheduled to work on the day on which you want to use sick leave, you cannot use sick leave for that day.

If a parent or legal guardian of a minor calls or emails our Casting Payroll Support team, they will need to answer a series of questions to validate against the information Casting Payroll has on file (such as the child’s Social Security Number, Date of Birth, and Address). EP is required to successfully validate this information before check information is provided.
