Minneapolis, February 25, 2009 - Ceridian Corporation, a leading provider of managed human resource, employee benefits administration and payroll outsourcing solutions, announced today it will sponsor an educational Web forum March 4, 2009, to show employers ways to save money with employee benefits - especially pretax and wellness benefits.

"Whether your goal is cutting costs, maximizing your workforce, or strategizing for the future, employee benefits can help get you there from here, even in times like these," said Tony Meredith, Ceridian product manager and a presenter at the event.

How to Generate Cost Savings from Your Benefits Programs, part of Ceridian's quarterly series of free presentations for HR, benefits and payroll professionals, will be broadcast live at 1 p.m. EST on March 4, 2009.

Pre-registration is available at the Ceridian Leadership Web Forum registration page.

With increasing pressure to save money and focus on sustainability, today's businesses are realizing that some of their employee benefits - once viewed as just a cost of doing business - can actually help generate significant savings.

The March forum will focus on two main areas of a comprehensive employee benefits program:

• Tax-advantaged or pretaxed benefits, such as Flexible Spending Accounts and commuter reimbursement programs


• And health and lifestyle behavior change benefits, such as telephonic health coaching

"Employers offering wellness benefits stand to gain an even greater competitive advantage in the challenging times ahead," said Darcy Hurlbert, a forum co-presenter and health and wellness product specialist with Ceridian Lifeworks. "Those kinds of benefits are potential cost savers."

In other upcoming forums, Ceridian will continue to share insights, tips and best practices on how to make the most of many of the legislative, cost and other challenges facing today's workplace.

A replay of Ceridian's most recent Web forum is available at Election and Economy 2008.
