Backup Care Services
An alternative to taking a day off work
Working parents experience problems or breakdowns with regular childcare 8-12 times per year. One in four working Americans who provide eldercare miss at least a day of work during a typical month. How can help your employees with these issue?Let employees select a backup plan and reimburse them
When care provisions break down, employees have to pay additional expenses in order to come to work. The Ceridian Backup Care Reimbursement program can help your employees plan for the unplanned and receive reimbursement of expenses incurred for emergency care needed by a child, older relative or dependent adult in the family.Employees submit affidavits requesting reimbursement, Ceridian submits reimbursement information to the employer bi-weekly or monthly, and the employer includes the approved reimbursement amount in employees' paychecks. Your organization determines the amount of reimbursement per day, as well as the total number of days that your organization will reimburse annually per employee.
Schedule backup care for our employees
