What Customers Are Saying

Financial business, 500 employees

“ We are quite excited about how Ceridian HR/Payroll Web integrates so many of our daily activities. The tools such as Ceridian Time and Attendance and Internet Payroll Management will significantly reduce the amount of time spentnchasing down corrections and performing manual re-entries. It’s also comforting to know that there is no third-party confusion to make one vendor’s software integrate with another, and the usual pointing of fingers that can occur when multiple system integration doesn’t work as promised. With Ceridian, we have one team, one vendor, to support multiple self-integrated systems. It’s hard to argue with the collective and positive response that we’ve received… needless to say, we’ re glad to be doing business with Ceridian.”


Telecommunications business, 350 employees

“ For me personally and for my company, Ceridian HR/Payroll Web represents an opportunity to streamline processes, reduce time spent on data entry, and provide the flexibility needed for a multi-site organization. As a new, High-Technology Co, we wanted to hit the ground running with a high-tech HR/payroll solution. Ceridian HR/Payroll Web is easy to use with more functions available on a single screen, which reduces the number of steps to complete a task. From a payroll perspective, we are thrilled. The pay roll management module, which allows us to view pay roll before issuing, has already substantially reduced the number of errors that can occur with sales salaries that change monthly. We have never sent a paper bill to our customers, and now with Ceridian HR/Payroll Web, human resources can go paperless as well.”

Suzanne Thomas, Chief Administrative Officer, Houston Texans NFL Football Team (News Release, 5/15 /02)

“ We needed a system that integrates our HR and payroll information to allow for greater flexibility and were impressed with the functionality of Ceridian HR/Payroll Web. With the amount of traveling required of our players and staff, time automation and the ability to update personal information on demand were a few of the key reasons we selected Ceridian. Our players and staff can view and update their personal information, see their check stubs and history, and view benefits information from their homes or a hotel room if they are on the road ”

Nursery business, 8,000 employees

“Ceridian HR/Payroll Web provides more information on each screen for easy navigation from one screen to another. The search engine is very user friendly and offers many standard options. My company has been a Ceridian customer for more than ten years. Ceridian partners with their customers to keep them abreast of all the latest technological changes and manages administrative functions, whether it’s pay roll, human resources, training, etc. Ceridian’s product offerings enable us to work ‘smarter,’ not ‘harder.’ With Ceridian HR/Payroll Web, Ceridian again has done a great job with a solution that will help us keep our costs down and stay within our budget.

 
Robert Half

Today, as companies continue their focus on increasing employee productivity, there is a growing awareness of the costs of poor hiring practices. In this leaner staffing environment, where the role of each employee has become so critical, greater efforts are being made to ensure wise hiring decisions. And because accounting and finance issues have become more complex, requiring increasingly skilled personnel, companies are relying on the world's leader in specialized accounting and financial staffing -- Robert Half, a division of Robert Half International Inc.

For more than 50 years, Robert Half 's expertise has helped companies strategically build their accounting departments with the right mix of skills and personnel, while helping them avoid the inefficient, often protracted and costly process of performing their own candidate searches. Because Robert Half is highly specialized in the fields of accounting and finance, they can locate and deliver the most qualified candidates for businesses. Robert Half recruitment managers understand the staffing needs of their clients and the career requirements of their candidates, as most have prior industry experience in accounting or finance. Their knowledge of the marketplace and their range of professional contacts are extensive, making them uniquely qualified to recommend appropriate skills and compensation levels, for example. And because of their association with Accountemps, they can advise clients on the ideal combination of full-time and temporary employees.

Endorsement of Robert Half by such leading professional trade associations as the American Society of Women Accountants and National Society of Accountants underscores their commitment to quality and professionalism. Customer service excellence has been the foundation of Robert Half 's leadership position for many years. Fees, always paid by the employer, are contingent upon Robert Half’s success in placing a candidate, and they support each of these placements with a liberal satisfaction guarantee.

The accounting and finance fields each require increasingly specialized and technical skills, which can be difficult for an employer to find, particularly in a competitive labor market. With its international network of offices, Robert Half has the ability to extend a candidate search to a neighboring city or overseas. As the first and largest service of its kind since 1948, this value-added service gives Robert Half clients a decided edge in staffing their operations.

There are more than 250 Robert Half locations throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. For more information, call 1-800-474.4253 or visit the Robert Half Web site at www.roberthalffinance.com.
