Northward Bound! MyCast&Crew Reaches Canada

Written by Cast&Crew | Aug 10, 2021 6:07:38 PM

We are thrilled to announce that MyCast&Crew, a centralized hub for document storage, will now be available for Canadian crew members*. With over 100,000 crew members already registered in the U.S., our neighbors to the north will now get to experience the benefits of this time-saving product firsthand. "With our successful launch of Cast & Crew digital products in the United States, we're constantly looking for ways we can offer the same solutions to productions around the world,” explains Ivana Malcolm, Vice President of Product Marketing and Strategy for Cast & Crew. "Managing your personal and professional information is about to get a whole lot easier, safer, and faster for crew members, both in the U.S. and Canada.”

So, what exactly is MyCast&Crew? The easy answer: it's a free personalized portal through which production employees can store, manage, and share all payroll and production documents from their desktop or mobile device—anytime and anywhere. With MyCast&Crew, crew members can feel empowered knowing that they have access to every piece of their important digital paperwork at the tap of a button. What’s more, MyCast&Crew users will have access to direct deposit, a faster and more convenient way to get paid. Most importantly, they can feel confident that their personal and professional information is safe.

It’s hard to overstate the benefits of having a singular hub for one’s information. MyCast&Crew gives your team control of their own personal documents, empowering them to manage their digital profile and information in a centralized place. And even if they're between productions, this custom MyCast&Crew account is always accessible, allowing them to: 

  • Sign up for direct deposit, securely and quickly. 
  • Access completed digital starts, paycheques, T-4s, and more—anytime, anywhere. 
  • Update addresses and employee profile. 
  • Securely store personal profile documents with My Files (box rental inventory, cell phone reimbursement, etc.) 
  • Easily link to Start+ offers.
  • Have a single sign-on point for all Cast & Crew products. 

Naturally, having all this sensitive information in one place poses a big question: “Is our data secure?”

Absolutely, it is. Securing sensitive crew data is our top priority, and we employ a series of safeguards to keep everyone's information safe, starting with the use of multi-factor authentication, which provides the highest standard of security, giving your team added peace of mind. Logging in is as safe as it is simple.

Along with enhanced security, your crew will receive features such as: 

  • Text and Voice Password Recovery, allowing for easier password resets. 
  • Extended expiration times for product invites and password-reset links.
  • Electronic signatures that follow all applicable e-signature laws and are considered valid legal agreements in Canada.
