Can you verify my employment?

To get started, provide the following information to the person requesting proof of employment or proof of employment plus income:

  1. Access to The Work Number via the web or telephone.
  2. Employer name or code:
  • CAPS Payroll: 17679

What is the MyCast&Crew portal?

The MyCast&Crew Employee portal is a one-stop-shop for all crew members to manage their personal information and access their payroll & tax related documents. Crew members that have been paid either by CAPS Payroll and/or by Cast & Crew can access their pay stubs, W-2s, federal and state W-4 forms and manage their profile information (e.g, mailing address, phone number, etc.) from their MyCast&Crew portal.

Having a Single Sign On (SSO) is not only convenient; it also allows Cast & Crew to provide ongoing security and functionality enhancements to all customers in one constantly improving interface.

Register with MyCast&Crew.

What is MFA?

MFA provides payroll data protection that relies upon additional methods, beyond just your password, to allow access to your account. It can use two or more factors to authenticate a user. In this case, MFA includes two steps to verify it’s really you trying to access your data, like your password and a code sent to your mobile phone.

FYI, the MFA we utilize is the same one used across the Cast & Crew family of companies. So if you also use software from CAPS or Media Services, for example, you’ll use the same login when you get to my.castandcrew.com.
