Ceridian's New Online Reference System Simplifies Employee Benefit Management.

New resource gives businesses 24/7/365 access to easy-to-use reference system to help them manage their employee benefits plans

MINNEAPOLIS -- Ceridian, a leader in managed human resource outsourcing solutions, today announced the launch of Ceridian Benefits Compliance Reference System, a comprehensive risk management and "best practices" Web guide to all health, welfare, and retirement employee benefits - both mandatory and optional.

For any organization, especially small businesses, designing and managing the right employee benefit plan is a complex task. There is an intricate web of intersecting federal and state laws and regulations that can make the creation and management of benefit plans a daunting challenge. Goodwill and common sense alone will not assure success, and failure comes at a high cost exposing businesses to legal liability and employee dissatisfaction.

Compliance simplified

Ceridian Benefits Compliance Reference System helps address these challenges. It features summaries of the latest local and national laws and regulations, as well as in-depth explanations and guidance to help employers facilitate the planning, compliance and communication of their benefits programs. Forms, policies, notices, FAQs, checklists, and related publications are also available on the Benefits Compliance Web site. Ceridian hosts the site to ensure that the reference system is updated with the latest information.

Keeping ease of use at a premium, Ceridian designed the Benefits Compliance Reference System so anyone in an organization with benefits management responsibilities can go online and find explanations to the employee benefits question they are facing.

"The key to designing and maintaining legally compliant benefit plans that best achieve employer and employee goals is access to the right information. Ceridian's new Web-based resource delivers exactly that--on demand, up-to-date, relevant benefits compliance information covering all aspects of employee benefits in 'plain English' and in an easy-to-navigate environment," said Ceridian Small Business vice president, Brian Regan. "This solution provides all of that -- within a single, user-friendly resource."
