Ceridian Continues to Expand International Business

Minneapolis, MN - Ceridian (www.myceridian.com), a leader in managed HR outsourcing solutions that maximize the value of people, announced today that it has expanded its multinational payroll outsourcing solutions to serve workforces in more than 35 countries, with plans to exceed 50 countries by the end of the year.



Ceridian Multinational Payroll Solutions enable global employers to contract with a single provider for all of its payroll needs, lessening the need to keep up-to-date with payroll regulations ñ as well as the cost and responsibility of employing payroll experts ñ in each country. A multinational payroll outsourcing engagement with Ceridian helps ensure that employers achieve full local compliance so that each countryís payroll is completed according to the highest payroll standards and in compliance with local legislation. Ceridianís offerings are well suited to businesses with at least 100 employees operating in a combination of three or more countries.

Without doing the proper preparation to work with employees in different countries, organizations will most likely endure a partnership full of miscommunication, ineffective solutions and noncompliance issues ñ which can add up to a costly headache, said Bill Thomas, president of Ceridian Multinational Services. With the implementation of Ceridian Multinational Payroll, organizations can achieve centralized oversight, but still provide local services in different countries.

Ceridian provides customers with the confidence that they are working with local people, responsible for in-country local processing, who are conversant with cultural issues, legislation, tax and statutory reporting requirements. The global HR outsourcing solutions provider offers a common service framework, as well as process and performance indicators, and a multilingual service center to help maneuver through the cultural and compliance nuances, enhancing a multinational customerís visibility into its local operations.

Depending on how their solution is designed, Ceridian customers can interact at a local level in either their local language or in English, or centrally through Ceridianís Multinational Services Centre in London, in nine languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Flemish, Catalan and Japanese). Ceridian provides English speaking contacts, both commercially and from a service perspective, so that communication is quick, consistent and accurate.

A multinational company may also have fragmented systems, inconsistent processes and a wide array of suppliers as a result of rapid expansion ñ an approach that makes it burdensome to track people and costs. As a single point of contact, Ceridian Multinational Payroll Solutions provides a standardized, consistent process across all locations, and also enables growing organizations to consolidate their payroll information. This consolidation of information enables the employer to better understand true labor costs, and make strategic workforce decisions, no matter the currency or location. With Ceridianís multinational reporting solution, complex global organizations can monitor and control labor costs and access the data needed to make strategic workforce decisions.

With the vigorous expansion of our multinational payroll solution, Ceridian continues to demonstrate its ability to anticipate workplace trends and respond with the resources that enable our customers to meet challenges both today and in the future, concluded Thomas.
