How it works
- Studio staff with a Payroll Accountant or Approver role will fill out a Client Registration form to access the Adjustment Request form.
-
- If you’re using Hours+ or Studio+, you’ll be able to navigate to this form directly in the user menu of these applications and will only need to fill it out once with your title/role. The Adjustment Request tab will be available in your MyCast&Crew portal, where you can access it at any time.
- Once you get access to the Adjustment Request form, fill out the required information about your production company, the type of adjustment request, and a description of the request.
- Attach supporting documents related to the adjustment request.
- If required information is missed on the adjustment form, the Submit button will be disabled until all required fields have been populated.
- If the adjustment form is correctly completed, you’ll receive a confirmation message about the successful submission.
- Upon submission, a ticket will be automatically created in Salesforce and assigned to the payroll coordinator who you specified on the adjustment form. If the email is incorrect, the ticket will still be created, but marked as unassigned and placed in the team’s queue for review.
- You’ll receive a confirmation email with details of the ticket created and how you can contact our team to track the progress or get help with any other questions related to the adjustment request you just created. The payroll coordinator specified on the adjustment request will also be copied on the confirmation email.
- If the adjustment ticket can’t be created in Salesforce due to a connection issue, you’ll receive an error message to either try again or click Get Help to be redirected to the “Support” tab.
