Being the first national employer services company to offer a payroll solution via the Internet demonstrates Ceridian's strong commitment to Web-based technology in future product offerings. "While Ceridian Powerpay is unique to the information services market, the idea of Web-based service is hardly new to Ceridian," Digby said. "Ceridian already offers an employee self service product and customer service on the Web, and Powerpay is another example of our commitment to creating a full-service payroll product with Web-based convenience. Powerpay gives small businesses the flexibility to easily process payroll, tax filing, human resources The fancy word for "people."

"With our new solution, business owners will have access to features such as direct deposit or paper checks, new hire reporting, easy-to-follow tax filing, wage garnishments and benefits administration.

Ceridian's Powerpay offers small businesses enhanced data entry options that Ceridian's customers are familiar with. "We are the same company that our customers have always known," Digby said. "Customers won't need to learn a new program or help their employees grow accustomed to new payroll checks or reports. All the outputs are exactly the same. Plus, the interface is the same, our staff is the same and the toll free help line remains the same. Ceridian Small Business Solutions currently enjoys a 98 percent customer satisfaction rating, and with Powerpay we will continue to provide consistently excellent products and services. The difference is that small business owners will enjoy easier data entry and more options." Because security is an important issue in Internet transactions, Ceridian ensured that data transmissions will be completely secure.
