If on a project where there are multiple employers (payroll companies, production companies etc.), which one needs a Certificate of Eligibility to Employ Child Performers?

Any entity that does one or more of the following must have a Certificate of Eligibility:

1. Employs a child performer to furnish artistic or creative services either directly or through a third party provider
2. Has “control” over the child performer’s worksite. For example, any entity that sets the hours of work (rehearsal or performance)
3. Contracts with the payroll service (in cases where payroll services are used to pay performers)
