Ceridian to provide uninterrupted, family critical and mission ready services to service men and women and their families

MINNEAPOLIS (Sept. 8, 2004) - Ceridian, a leader in managed human resource solutions that maximize the value of people, today announced that it will provide family assistance services to military personnel. The Bridge Contract, which was granted to Ceridian by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) on behalf of the Department of Defense, calls for Ceridian to provide employee assistance programs (EAP) and work-life services to the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.

The Bridge Contract is for continued 1-800 and Web-based family assistance and military member support services and non-medical counseling services to military service members and their families. Ceridian professionals will continue, without interruption, to provide Military One Source services to over 2.7 million service men and women and their families.

"We are honored to provide support services to the service men and women who are responsible for the defense of our country," said Bo Ewald, president of Ceridian's Human Resource Solutions business. "These services are an essential component of the support needed to help the military members and their families to improve their quality of life during this critical period in U.S. history."

Ewald added, "The success of the Military One Source program is confirmed by our high user satisfaction rating and by the many positive comments we receive, such as 'I will be forever grateful for the help and direction that I received from One Source' and 'I am very grateful-the service you provide is invaluable.'"
