Dear Fellow Stockholders:

Together we are pleased to invite you to attend the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Ceridian to be held virtually on May 3, 2022, at 9:00 a.m., Central Daylight Time at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CDAY2022. Once again, we are holding our Annual Meeting virtually in order to make the meeting conveniently accessible to all of our stockholders, guests, and employees.

Despite continued challenges for us all brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, 2021 was another year of growth for Ceridian’s business and our continued corporate governance journey. We would like to take this opportunity to share an update on the progress we have made as a Board of Directors (“Board”) in ensuring we remained responsive and accountable to the views of our stockholders in this past year.

Responsiveness to Stockholder Feedback.Our Board values stockholder input as we provide oversight of the strategic growth of Ceridian and we continue to make efforts to engage with investors directly. This was particularly important in 2021 to ensure we were responsive to the failed “Say on Pay” vote at our 2021 Annual Meeting. To solicit feedback from our stockholders on executive compensation practices, as well as corporate governance and environmental, social & governance (“ESG”) topics, the chairs of our Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee invited holders of approximately 75% of our outstanding common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”) to engage in listening sessions with them, ultimately meeting with holders of approximately 57% of our outstanding Common Stock. As highlighted in more detail in the Proxy Statement that follows, we incorporated that feedback directly into our decision-making as a Board in 2021.

Focus on ESG.In 2021 we published our first ESG report that described our vision and accomplishments in fostering sustainable and responsible growth. Following the publication of the report, we worked with a broad array of stakeholders including employees, customers, non-governmental agencies, and major stockholders to complete an ESG materiality assessment which helped us to establish a new strategic framework for efforts moving forward. Coming out of that assessment we have sought to foster greater accountability in our business to achieve positive change. To that end, we have set measurable, time-bound goals related to ESG on topics that our stakeholders have advised are important to our sustainable and responsible growth, ranging from data security and privacy to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. Please navigate to our brand-new ESG Portal on our website at www.ceridian.com to learn more about these exciting developments.

–––

2021 was an important year for our governance development and for Ceridian as a whole. For more information on our growth, governance, and compensation practices, we would encourage you to read the accompanying Proxy Statement and the 2021 Annual Report.

With gratitude for your confidence and support,

David D. Ossip Chair and Co-Chief Executive Officer	Gerald C. Throop Lead Director, Chair of the Audit Committee, Member of the Compensation Committee

2022 PROXY STATEMENT SUMMARY

Corporate Governance Journey

We are committed to sound corporate governance practices. As we enter our fifth year as a public company, our Board has continued to adopt measures designed to bolster the independent leadership on the Board and establish additional meaningful stockholder rights while continuing to maintain best practice efforts adopted previously. The following timeline summarizes the evolution of the Board’s corporate governance practices since our initial public offering in 2018:

Continue Corporate Governance Best Practices

In the four years since our IPO, we have worked steadily to establish a governance framework founded on best practices articulated by our stockholders and independent advisory groups. Key policies and practices we have adopted include:

Executive Compensation Priorities

Our Board has been focused on building an executive compensation program that is significantly performance-based and stockholder aligned. In 2021, we focused on two major priorities:

Respond to Stockholder Feedback

Our Board has been intent on incorporating stockholder feedback into our 2021 and 2022 executive compensation programs. Following our failed Say on Pay vote in 2021, we met with stockholders and took the following actions in response to their feedback:

• Awarded Mr. Ossip long-term incentive compensation in 2021 in line with relevant data sets and broader market competitive data

• Removed “evergreen refresh” provision from our 2018 EIP

• Awarded short-term incentive payout in accordance with terms of the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) and Sales Incentive Plan (“SIP”, and together with the MIP, the “STI”)

• Introduced performance-based stock units (“PSUs”) into annual long-term incentive award program for named executive officers (“NEOs”)

• Added “double trigger” change in control provisions to equity awards moving forward

• Used and disclosed a broader “Peer Group” in considering market competitive compensation for NEOs

For more information on our stockholder engagement program, please see page 27 of this Proxy Statement.

Continue Executive Compensation Program Best Practices

We have worked closely with our independent compensation consultant, our stockholders, and other stakeholders to continue incorporating best practices into our executive compensation program. Key policies and practices we have adopted since our initial public offering include:

Compensation Procedures	Compensation Policies
✓“Pay for Performance” with majority of compensation “at risk” ✓Peer Group of 15 companies ✓Independent compensation consultant ✓“Double trigger” acceleration following a change-in-control ✓Limited executive perquisites	✓Stock Ownership Guidelines for Senior Management ✓Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy ✓No-Hedging and No-Pledging Policy

5   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Proposal Two:

Advisory Vote on the Compensation of Ceridian’s Named Executive Officers

We are asking our stockholders to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) tabular disclosures and related narrative of this Proxy Statement. The Board recommends a vote “FOR” approval of NEO compensation because it believes that the policies and practices described in the CD&A beginning on page 32 of this Proxy Statement are based on principles that reflect a “pay-for-performance” philosophy and are strongly aligned with our stockholders’ interests. Since the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not affect any compensation already paid or awarded to any NEO and will not be binding on or overrule any decisions by the Compensation Committee or the Board. However, because we value our stockholders’ view, the Compensation Committee and Board will carefully consider the results of this advisory vote when formulating future executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices.

Proposal Three:

Ratification of the Appointment of KPMG LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for Fiscal Year 2022

Our Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, and we are asking our stockholders to ratify this appointment. The Board recommends a vote “FOR” this ratification.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our Board believes that compensation for directors should be competitive, aligned with stockholders, and reflect the highest standards of corporate governance. Our compensation program for directors is reviewed periodically by our Compensation Committee to ensure that we continue to provide a competitive compensation program.

Current Director Compensation Program

The current director compensation program for non-employee directors consists of:

• An annual cash retainer of $50,000;

• Annual equity award grants of $250,000;

• Annual cash Committee chair fees (Audit - $20,000, Compensation - $12,500, Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee - $7,500);

• Annual cash Lead Director fee of $50,000; and

• One-time time-based restricted stock unit (“RSU”) grant with a value of $200,000 made to non-employee directors upon appointment to the Board.

The annual cash retainer and annual cash Committee chair and Lead Director fees are paid pro-rata quarterly. Directors are given the flexibility to elect to receive any portion of their annual cash retainer or annual cash Committee chair and Lead Director fees in the form of equity award grants and to receive any annual equity awards in the form of either RSUs, time-based stock options, or any combination of the two. Annual equity award grants, regardless of form, vest pro-rata quarterly over one year following the date of grant. The one-time RSU award vests pro-rata annually over a three-year period following the date of grant.

Our directors may be reimbursed for approved director education courses and out-of-pocket travel expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and Board committee meetings and other Board-related activities.

There are no annual cash fees paid to the chair of the Acquisition and Finance Committee.

Director Stock Ownership Principles

Stock ownership and stockholder alignment are key principles of our director compensation program and are reinforced from a director’s appointment to the Board until their service concludes. Therefore, we provide for annual elections where directors may receive any portion of their annual cash fees in the form of equity awards and provide a one-time equity award upon a non-employee director’s appointment to the Board.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee has established Stock Ownership Guidelines to encourage equity ownership by our executive officers and non-employee directors in order to reinforce the link between their financial interests and those of our stockholders. A person covered by the Stock Ownership Guidelines will have five years from the later of February 27, 2020, or the date the individual becomes a covered person to satisfy the stock ownership requirements.

We set the Stock Ownership Guidelines for our non-employee directors based on a multiple of their annual base cash retainer as of December 31 of each year. Qualifying shares under the Stock Ownership Guidelines consist of:

• shares of our Common Stock or Exchangeable Shares held directly or beneficially owned by the non-employee director; and

• vested RSUs held directly by the non-employee director and granted to the non-employee director under a Ceridian equity plan.

22   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Under our Stock Ownership Guidelines, each non-employee director is expected to own an amount of our stock equal in value to five times his or her annual base cash retainer. The following table reflects the stock owned as of December 31, 2021, against the Stock Ownership Guidelines for each non-employee director:

The guidelines state that no director may sit on more than five public company boards (including the Company’s), and no director who is a CEO of a public company may sit on the board of more than two public companies besides the public company for which they are CEO. As of the time of mailing of this Proxy Statement, all directors satisfy the “overboarding” guidelines.

No-Hedging and No-Pledging Policy

Our Insider Trading and Tipping Policy prohibits the hedging or pledging of Ceridian stock by our directors or executive officers unless an exception is granted by the Board. No exceptions to the policy were granted in 2021.

Director Evaluations

Our Board and Board committees conduct annual self-assessments of the effectiveness of the Board, Board committees, and our directors. The evaluation process was developed by and is administered under the direction of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The assessment is facilitated through a questionnaire process which was refreshed in 2021 and is designed to elicit feedback with respect to areas such as Board and committee composition, governance, communication, culture, risk, and strategy. Responses are discussed with each of the Board committees and the full Board. Recommendations are discussed with the Board and within the appropriate Board committees, and then considered and implemented as appropriate.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our fourth amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. These indemnification agreements provide the directors with contractual rights to indemnification and expense advancement and reimbursement to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, subject to certain exceptions contained in those agreements.

STOCKHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Our Board continues to value stockholder input and has sustained its stockholder engagement efforts throughout 2021. As detailed below, our Board incorporated the feedback received from stockholders directly into its decision-making in 2021.

Scope of Engagement

Following our 2021 Annual Meeting, in order to understand the executive compensation, corporate governance, and ESG concerns of our stockholders, we reached out to stockholders holding approximately 75% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of June 30, 2021, to offer meetings with both the Chair of our Compensation Committee and Chair of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Ultimately, both the Chair of our Compensation Committee and Chair of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee participated in 12 meetings with stockholders holding approximately 57% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of June 30, 2021. In addition, the Chair of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and/or management also separately met with stockholders holding approximately 21% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of June 30, 2021, to specifically discuss ESG-related matters.

Response to Failed 2021 Say on Pay Vote

Our Board focused much of its engagement efforts in 2021 on understanding stockholder concerns around executive compensation that resulted in the failed Say on Pay vote at our 2021 Annual Meeting. Those conversations were productive, and led to the following actions in 2021:

What we heard	How we responded
The quantum was too high for Mr. Ossip’s 2020 special performance-based stock option grant	In designing Mr. Ossip’s long-term incentive award, the Compensation Committee considered the feedback from some stockholders regarding the quantum of the 2020 special performance-based stock option grant. The $9 million value of the annual long-term incentive equity awards granted to Mr. Ossip in 2021 and 2022 are in line with grants made to chief executive officers of companies in relevant data sets and broader market competitive data. The intention of the special, one-time performance-based stock option grant to Mr. Ossip in 2020 was to cover multiple years and serve as a “bridge” to transition him to ongoing competitive, annual long-term incentive equity grants which the Compensation Committee and the Board began in February 2021. Please see the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section beginning on page 32 for more information.
Concern about dilutive effect of the 3% “evergreen refresh” provision in the 2018 EIP	The Board amended the 2018 EIP to remove the 3% “evergreen refresh provision” effective on April 1, 2022. Please see the “Equity Compensation Plan Information” section beginning on page 62 for more information.
Proxy advisory firm concern with the use of discretion to award STI payouts to management	In 2021, no discretionary STI payouts were made under our MIP. Our adjusted EBITDA margin overperformed targets while our Cloud Revenue underperformed targets, resulting in a payout under the terms of the plan of 100% of target incentive compensation. Please see the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section beginning on page 32 for more information.
Desire to include performance-based awards in the annual long-term incentive program	We have introduced PSUs into our annual long-term incentive award program in 2021. Mr. Ossip’s and Ms. Turner’s 2021 long-term incentive award was 75% options and 25% PSUs. Other NEOs received a 2021 long-term incentive award in the form of 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs. In 2022, all NEOs, including Mr. Ossip and Ms. Turner, received long-term incentive award in the form of 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs. Please see the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section beginning on page 32 for more information.
Desire to include a “double trigger” change in control provision in equity award agreements	For equity awards made in 2021 under the 2018 EIP, we have added a “double trigger” change in control provision to our employee equity award agreements. The awards vest upon change of control only if the executive is involuntarily terminated without cause within 12 months of the change of control or the acquirer does not assume and convert the shares into acquirer stock following the change in control. Please see the Compensation Policies and Practices section on page 37 for more information.

28   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Disclosure of compensation Peer Group including peers the Compensation Committee evaluates in determining compensation   The Compensation Committee considered market competitive data from both a Peer Group (proxy data from fifteen companies), as well as a broader frame from survey data sources (Radford Global Compensation Database and Willis Towers Watson) and included a more robust disclosure in this Proxy Statement.   Please see the Market Competitive Compensation – Peer Group section beginning on page 40 for more information.  

Corporate Governance Feedback

In addition to the compensation focus, our discussions with stockholders also touched on corporate and ESG matters. The Board reviewed the feedback from our stockholders and responded as follows:

What we heard	How we responded
Desire to see more robust, data-driven ESG disclosure	In 2021, we worked with a broad array of stakeholders including senior management, customers, non-governmental agencies, and major stockholders to complete an ESG materiality assessment. Taking into account the results of that assessment, we have set measurable, time-bound goals related to ESG on activities that our stakeholders have advised are important to our sustainable and responsible growth. More robust, data driven disclosure on these items – ranging from data security and privacy to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts – is available on our brand-new ESG Portal under the “Corporate Responsibility” section on our website at www.ceridian.com, which information is not part of or incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.
Support for recent corporate governance changes	Many of the stockholders we spoke with spoke positively of the sunsetting of staggered board and commitment to majority vote standard by 2024.
Interest in certain other stockholder rights, such as: •Calling a special meeting, •Acting by written consent, or •Proxy access.	The Board has determined that our current corporate governance structure, coupled with our robust stockholder engagement program, permits adequate and appropriate stockholder input into company decision-making and further changes in these areas are not needed at this time.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are seeking a non-binding, advisory vote to approve our executive compensation for 2021. As the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not affect any compensation already paid or awarded to any NEO and will not be binding on or overrule any decisions by the Compensation Committee or the Board. However, because we value our stockholders’ views, the Compensation Committee and the Board will carefully consider the results of this advisory vote when formulating future executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices.

Our Board believes that our current executive compensation program appropriately links compensation realized by our NEOs to our performance and properly aligns the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders. The details of the compensation for 2021, and the reasons we awarded it, are described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section starting below.

Executive Summary

Our executive compensation program is designed to be significantly performance-based and stockholder aligned. In 2021 we focused our program to be conscious of stockholder feedback, retain our executive team that has delivered strong company performance, and continue to be aligned to stockholder value.

In 2021, we provided our NEOs with total direct compensation in the form of base salary, short-term incentives, and a long-term incentive in the form of equity grants. The short-term incentives compensate management and key employees for performance against annual financial performance objectives. The long-term incentive equity grants have a performance element to further compensate management and key employees for performance against annual financial objectives, and a multi-year vesting feature intended to focus management and key employees on sustained long-term value creation as well as attract and retain top talent.

This CD&A describes Ceridian’s executive compensation philosophy, design, and decisions as it relates to our NEOs and their roles in 2021.

Stockholder Responsiveness

The Compensation Committee and Board have been responsive to our failed Say on Pay vote in 2021. As described more fully in the Stockholder Engagement section on page 27, we continued our robust stockholder engagement program in 2021 with a focus on understanding stockholder concerns with our compensation program.

As a direct result of that engagement, the Board took the following actions:

• Following the one-time, special performance based stock option grant to Mr. Ossip, we awarded Mr. Ossip long-term incentive equity compensation in 2021 in line with relevant data sets and broader market competitive data

• Removed “evergreen refresh” provision from our 2018 EIP

• Awarded STI payout in accordance with terms of the MIP and SIP

• Introduced PSUs into the annual long-term incentive award program for NEOs

• Used and disclosed a broader Peer Group in considering market competitive compensation for NEOs

• Added “double trigger” change in control provisions to equity awards moving forward

For more detailed discussion of our engagement program, what we heard, and how we responded, please see the Stockholder Engagement section on page 27 of this Proxy Statement.

Retention of High Performing Executive Team

As a global human capital management (“HCM”) company, we are uniquely positioned to understand the “war for talent” that continues to affect the marketplace for human capital. Our Compensation Committee also recognizes the success of our NEOs in leading our executive management team that has produced strong performance for Ceridian. As a result, we designed the 2021 compensation program with retention of our NEOs front of mind.

In addition to the significant milestone of surpassing $1 billion in annual revenue, Ceridian and its executive leadership team delivered strong financial performance in 2021, including:

$785.9 million Dayforce revenue +23.6% year-over-year excluding float revenue Represents 77% of total revenue	$162.5 million Adjusted EBITDA +13.8% year-over-year excluding float revenue	5,434 Live Dayforce customers(1) +528 vs 12/31/2020
72.3% Cloud recurring gross margin +200 basis points year-over-year excluding float revenue(2)	96.8% Annual Cloud Revenue Retention for FY 2021 (1) (3)	$108,631 Dayforce recurring revenue per customer +10.1% year-over-year(4)

⁽¹⁾ Excluding the 2021 acquisitions of Ascender and ADAM HCM.

⁽²⁾ Cloud recurring gross margin is defined as total Cloud recurring revenue less cost of Cloud recurring revenue for the applicable solution as a percentage of total Cloud recurring revenue, exclusive of any product development and management or depreciation and amortization cost allocations.

⁽³⁾ Annual Cloud revenue retention rate and Cloud ARR are calculated on an annual basis, and the disclosure reflects data as of the most recent fiscal year end.

⁽⁴⁾ Excluding float revenue,the impact of lower employment levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ascender and ADAM HCM revenue, and on a constant currency basis.

See Appendix A included in this Proxy Statement for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

As noted above, Ceridian met several significant milestones during fiscal year 2021 while continuing to lay the foundation for long-term value creation in support of our strategic growth levers. In addition to continuing to deliver new Dayforce products and features – including the launch of Dayforce Wallet in Canada – we grew our business through key acquisitions that bolstered our presence in the Asia Pacific Japan region, expanded our footprint to include Latin America, and added capabilities to our product to support Ceridian’s compliance offerings and talent management product.

Compensation Design

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

As a global, cloud-based HCM software company, our success is directly linked to our ability to recruit, incentivize, and retain top talent in product and technology, sales, services, implementation, and corporate support functions. With these realities as background, and taking into account the current heightened talent market, our philosophy is that Ceridian’s executive compensation program should:

✓ Attract executive talent;

34   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

✓ Retain executives critical to our business;

✓ Reward executives according to the overall performance of Ceridian consistent with our plan design;

✓ Align executives with Ceridian’s financial and strategic objectives to build sustainable stockholder value;

✓ Foster executive ownership through our Stock Ownership Guidelines;

✓ Administer the executive compensation program according to high standards of corporate governance; and

✓ Balance a significant performance-based culture with reasonable risk mitigating elements to reinforce behavior that is consistent with Ceridian’s strategic planning and standards of conduct.

Ceridian’s brand promise is Makes Work Life Better^™ and we deliver on this promise by operating through our set of core values that guides how we achieve our goals as an organization. Our executive compensation program is grounded in these values and part of an overall corporate talent strategy that drives a culture of excellence rooted in the belief that healthy and engaged employees create the best outcomes for our employees, customers, and stockholders.

Compensation Elements

Our compensation program is designed to be simple and transparent. As our business continues to grow, we have identified three core components of our compensation program design: base salary, a short-term incentive (management incentive plan and sales incentive plan), and long-term equity awards. More detailed discussion related to how we determine the amount (and, where applicable, the formula) for each element is continued below under the heading “2021 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes” beginning on page 42 of the Proxy Statement.

Element	Purpose(s)	Key Features
Base Salary	•    Provide market competitive fixed compensation for performing duties and responsibilities of the position •    Attract and retain exceptional talent capable of performing in a dynamic high-growth environment	•    Reviewed annually •    Increases are provided depending on each executive’s leadership role, scope, complexity, individual performance and competitive market trends
Short-Term Incentives	•    Align compensation with annual financial performance goals/objectives •    Motivate executive officers to meet and achieve company-wide goals against pre-defined criteria in areas of strategic importance to Ceridian	•   Reviewed annually •   2021 MIP variable compensation in the form of 50% cash and 50% PSUs •   Based on the achievement of financial performance goals established annually in the first quarter •    2021 MIP financial performance metrics were cloud revenue excluding float and adjusted EBITDA margin excluding float •    2021 SIP financial performance metrics (only for EVP, Chief Revenue Officer) were cloud per employee per month (“PEPM”) sales •   Assessment against the pre-determined goals informs actual pay-out, with defined minimum threshold, target, and maximum for the 2021 MIP •   There is no earnings cap or incentive ceiling for SIPs to maximize the incentive for our sales force to meet and exceed their sales targets

35   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Element	Purpose(s)	Key Features
Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI”)	•    To align the interests of executive officers and stockholders via equity while encouraging retention and the continuity of our strategic plan	•    Reviewed annually •    2021 LTI equity awards were: (1) Time-Based Stock Options: •    Provides value to the executive only when the share price exceeds the grant price •    Exercise price of stock options is equal to the fair market value at the date of grant •   10-year term and four-year ratable vesting provide long term perspective and encourages retention (2) RSUs (Time-Based Restricted Stock Units): •    Awarded to attract new talent and for the long-term retention of executives •    Full value grants that vest ratably over three years and support the stock ownership guidelines and long-term retention (3) PSUs (Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units): •    Awarded to align the interests of executive officers and stockholders •    Based on the achievement of financial performance goals established annually •    Vest ratably over three years, support the stock ownership guidelines, long-term retention, and promote significant stockholder alignment

2021 Target NEO Compensation Mix

The majority of our NEOs’ target compensation is variable and at-risk, maximizing alignment with our stockholders’ interests and long-term value creation. In 2021, the target compensation mix for Mr. Ossip and the other NEOs was as follows:

Since executive compensation is paid principally in the form of STI and LTI equity awards, a significant percentage of executive pay is at risk and variable based on the annual and long-term performance of Ceridian. In 2021, stock options were granted to Mr. Ossip and Ms. Turner as a performance-based vehicle given that the ultimate value is directly tied to appreciation of our Common Stock price. Similarly, PSUs granted to our NEOs in 2021 contains a performance component, which is linked to the achievement of cloud revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin goals. For our NEOs to earn their intended target compensation from these 2021 awards, we must achieve our targets that will lead to long-term growth.

36   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Compensation Policies and Practices

As a high-growth company, we recognize the importance of establishing strong governance around our compensation to preserve stockholder value.

What We Do:

What We Avoid:

✓Focus compensation on “pay for performance” ✓Put majority of compensation “at-risk” ✓Integrate stockholder feedback into compensation design ✓Require meaningful share ownership for our NEOs ✓Mitigate financial reporting controls risk via a Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy ✓Maintain Compensation Committee comprised of entirely independent directors ✓Review external market data of our Peer Group as a data point when making compensation decisions ✓Engage an independent compensation consultant ✓Conduct annual Risk Assessment of our executives and broad-based compensation programs ✓Conduct an annual Say on Pay vote ✓      Require “double trigger” to accelerate vesting following a change in control

✗No tax gross-ups on any severance payments ✗No excessive perquisites, benefits, or pension payments ✗No discounting, reloading, or repricing of stock options ✗No guaranteed STIs ✗No use of discretion in calculation of performance-based compensation

Compensation Governance

Compensation Oversight

The Compensation Committee, comprised entirely of independent directors, reviews and approves the compensation of Ceridian’s NEOs and other executive officers and administers and makes recommendations related to equity-based compensation plans to the Board.

One key duty of the Compensation Committee is to determine and approve all aspects related to the Co-Chief Executive Officers’ compensation, including setting and assessing goals and objectives, as well as setting and approving compensation for the broader executive officer team at Ceridian.

Details of the Compensation Committee’s duties are summarized in the Board of Directors overview of this Proxy Statement (beginning on page 19) and are fully set out in the Compensation Committee’s charter which can be found under “Governance Documents” on the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.ceridian.com.

37   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Annual Committee Process

The Compensation Committee typically meets a minimum of three times per year, but usually meets at least quarterly to consider the following items:

Quarter	Typical Meeting Topics
Q1	•    Review prior year performance results and corresponding payouts under the MIP; •    Approve metrics, weightings, and goals for the current year MIP awards; •    Approve annual LTI equity grant strategy; •    Review equity plan share replenishment provision; •    Approve CD&A, proxy statement disclosures and awards; and
Q2	•    Approve executive officer cash compensation; •    Review and approve compensation of non-employee directors; •    Review and approve compensation Peer Group; and •    Discuss any stockholder feedback on compensation matters in the proxy statement including results of the Say on Pay vote
Q3	•    Discuss Compensation Committee’s annual self-assessment based on committee charter requirements; •    Review succession planning and talent management report; •    Review overview of North America retirement plans; •    Review global employee stock purchase plan; and •    Review and approve following year annual meeting calendar.
Q4	•    Review CEO and executive officer compensation and market comparisons; •    Review results of compensation risk assessment; •    Review upcoming potential annual LTI grant strategy; •    Review Compensation Committee charter; •    Review stockholder feedback on compensation practices arising out of engagement sessions; •    Review appointment of independent compensation consultant; and •    Review annual self-assessment results.

In addition to the above, the Compensation Committee reviews our overall total reward strategy and competitive positionon an ad hoc basis. In 2021, the Compensation Committee met five times.

Role of Management

Compensation Committee meetings have been typically attended by the Chair and Co-Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Vice President, Global Total Rewards, and the Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary. The Chair and Co-Chief Executive Officer has provided recommendations on compensation for all other executive officer roles. The Chair and Co-Chief Executive Officer was not present when the Compensation Committee discussed his compensation.

Use of an Independent Compensation Consultant

As set out in its charter, the Compensation Committee has the authority in its sole discretion to retain outside consultants to provide independent advice to the Compensation Committee and to determine the fees and terms of engagement of such consultants.

In 2021, the Compensation Committee engaged Willis Towers Watson (“WTW”) as its independent compensation consultant. WTW reports directly to the Compensation Committee and took direction from the Chair of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of WTW on both a qualitative and quantitative basis, referencing the six factors suggested by the SEC regarding compensation committee advisor independence (i.e., other services provided by the advisor’s firm, fees as a percentage of firm revenue, any policies and procedures maintained by the advisory firm to prevent potential conflicts of interest, any business or personal relationship of the compensation advisor with a member of the Compensation Committee, any company stock owned by the compensation advisor, any business or personal relationship of the compensation advisor or the firm employing the advisor with an executive offer of Ceridian). Having assessed WTW’s independence through these qualitative and quantitative factors, the Compensation Committee concluded that the work of WTW did not raise any conflicts of interest, and that WTW was independent.

38   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

During the year, WTW assisted in designing and reviewing our management and director compensation programs, including developing compensation market comparisons, providing competitive program and policies information, attending Compensation Committee meetings, and providing general advice. The Compensation Committee considers the analysis and advice from WTW as well as support and insight from management when making decisions.

In 2021, WTW provided approximately $200,000 in services to the Compensation Committee. WTW also provides certain other services to Ceridian, including health and welfare benefits consulting and corporate risk and brokerage services. WTW received approximately $1,172,500 for these services in 2021. The Compensation Committee is aware of the other services provided by WTW to the Company but did not review or approve the provision of these services because they are of the type directly procured by management in the ordinary course of business.

Managing Compensation-Related Risk

In connection with their oversight of compensation-related risks, the Compensation Committee, and WTW, as the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, reviewed Ceridian’s compensation policies and practices to ensure that compensation programs do not encourage risk-taking that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The Compensation Committee and WTW reviewed all compensation plans and identified those plans that are most likely to pose material risks and balanced these against our existing processes and compensation program safeguards. The review process considered mitigating features contained within our compensation plan design, which includes elements such as mix of pay, timing of payouts relative to performance periods and metrics, and goal diversification.

We believe, and the results of the risk analysis concluded, that our compensation programs do not encourage risk-taking that is reasonably likely to result in a material adverse effect on Ceridian.

As part of our sound governance practices and to reinforce the alignment of executives’ interests with those of our stockholders, the following risk-mitigating policies have been approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board:

Policy	Key Features
No-Hedging and   No-Pledging	•   Please see discussion of Ceridian’s anti-hedging and anti-pledging policy described on page 26of the Proxy Statement

Market Competitive Compensation – Peer Group

In reviewing compensation for the executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers several factors, including practices and policies within a relevant market for talent. Our definition of market comparisons includes companies that, like us, are high-growth, cloud-based technology and software companies. The Compensation

40   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Committee considered market competitive data from both a Peer Group (proxy data from fifteen companies), as well as a broader frame from survey data sources (Radford Global Compensation Database and WTW).

The customized Peer Group was developed with assistance from WTW and focused on companies that have a comparable business model and are a potential source of executive talent. Compensation practices from the following fifteen companies were referenced by the Compensation Committee (in addition to the survey sources referenced above):

2021 Peer Group
Atlassian Corporation Plc	HubSpot, Inc	Splunk, Inc.
Avalara, Inc.	Palantir Technologies Inc.	Tyler Technologies, Inc.
Coupa Software Incorporated	Paycom Software, Inc.	Unity Software Inc.
Datadog, Inc.	Pegasystems Inc.	Workday, Inc.
DocuSign, Inc.	ServiceNow, Inc.	Zendesk, Inc.

The Compensation Committee did not emphasize one data point or data set over another, nor did the Compensation Committee target a specific percentile in comparison to the other companies. Instead, the Compensation Committee considered the data from all sources relative to key internal criteria such as business strategy, individual responsibilities, and comparative compensation of our executives.

The combination of the customized Peer Group and the various survey sources provide a holistic summary of market competitive practices that reasonably compare to our size and scale, growth profile, specific industry, and broad labor market where we compete for talent.

2021 Target Direct Compensation

In setting total target direct compensation for fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed:

• the customized Peer Group,

• the survey data sources,

• the various market references provided by WTW,

• the realities of the heightened talent market and our aggressive business environment, and

• our compensation philosophy.

Reflecting these factors, we believe the total target direct compensation for each of our NEOs (i.e., the combination of base salary, STI, and LTI) is competitive within the labor markets for which we compete for talent and is retentive in nature. Further, the Compensation Committee considered the comparatively strong financial performance of Ceridian when it determined the amount of the LTI equity awards for the NEOs. Please see the discussion of “2021 Long-Term Incentive Awards” below.

41   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

The following annual total target direct compensation amounts were approved for fiscal year2021:

2021 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes

Base Salary

We offer base salaries for our NEOs and other executive officers for performance of their day-to-day responsibilities.  The Compensation Committee reviews base salaries of the NEOs and other executive officers on an annual basis. When setting base salaries, the Compensation Committee considers several factors including experience in the position, industry experience, our Peer Group, market competitive data, scope of responsibilities, and individual performance. In April 2021, in consideration of our Peer Group and market competitive data, Mr. Ossip’s base salary was increased from $700,000 to $800,000. There were no increases to base salaries for any other NEOs who were employed by Ceridian prior to 2021. Mr. Subramanian commenced employment on April 19, 2021. The Compensation Committee considered several factors when setting his base salary. Refer to “Compensation Review and Determination” for more information on the data the Compensation Committee considers in setting base salaries.

Short-Term Incentive (STI) Compensation

We offer short-term inventive compensation for our NEOs and other executive officers to motivate them to meet and achieve annual company-wide goals against pre-defined criteria in areas of strategic importance to Ceridian and our shareholders.  The Compensation Committee considers several factors when setting the STI targets, including each executive officer’s role and responsibilities, expected contribution to the Company, and potential impact of each executive officer’s performance on Ceridian’s performance metrics. The Compensation Committee reviews incentive targets annually.  For the 2021 fiscal year, in consideration of our Peer Group and market competitive data, Ms. Turner’s MIP target was increased from 60% to 80%.  There were no increases to STI targets for any other NEOs who were employed by Ceridian prior to 2021.  Mr. Subramanian commenced employment on April 19, 2021. The Compensation Committee considered several factors when setting his STI target. Refer to “Compensation Review and Determination” for more information on the data the Compensation Committee considers in setting base salaries.

2021 Management Incentive Plan (MIP)

Our 2021 MIP provided an opportunity for our NEOs and other management employees to earn a short-term incentive, contingent on the successful achievement of financial goals of strategic significance. As a high-growth, cloud-based software company, our performance metrics focus on top-line growth and profitable operations, providing us with a platform for future growth and success. These metrics are reflected within our 2021 MIP. The 2021 MIP provided for a payment between 50% and 150% of the NEO’s individual MIP target for achievement between threshold and maximum performance levels, with payment at 100% of target if both financial performance measures were achieved at the goal performance level. The 2021 MIP was denominated as 50% cash and 50% PSUs. The same performance measures were used to determine achievement for both the cash portion and the PSU portion of the 2021 MIP.

2021 Sales Incentive Plan (SIP)

The 2021 SIP is only applicable for the Chief Revenue Officer, Rakesh Subramanian.  Mr. Subramanian’s 2021 SIP provided an opportunity for Mr. Subramanian to earn a short-term incentive for achievement of sales-related goals for the period July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021.   No payment under this plan would be made unless he achieved at least 75% of target.   As with all our direct SIPs, there is no earnings cap or incentive ceiling to maximize the incentive for our sales force to meet and exceed their sales targets.

Under the terms of his SIP, Mr. Subramanian receives an annual payout based on his sales-related goals, with any overachievement based on a set of payout accelerators for incremental achievement above target, and underachievement resulting in below target payouts. The financial targets pertaining to Mr. Subramanian’s 2021 SIP are not being disclosed because we believe such disclosure would cause us competitive harm and we consider this information to be confidential business information. Pursuant to Mr. Subramanian’s SIP, he received a payout for 2021 at 90.6% of target.

43   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

On February 8, 2022, the Compensation Committee certified the above resulting in 2021 STI compensation paid to our NEOs in first quarter 2022, as set forth in the table below:

NEO	Target Payout (% of Base Salary)			Actual Payout (% of Base Salary)		Actual Cash Payout ($)				Actual PSUs Vesting(1)
Mr. Ossip		100	%		100%		$	400,000			4,942
Ms. Heuland		60	%		100%		$	180,000			2,224

Mr. Subramanian		100	%		95%		$	270,685	(2)		1,058

(1)   PSUs vested on March 8, 2022, for Messrs. Ossip and Armstrong and Mses. Turner and Heuland, and on May 7, 2022, for Mr. Subramanian.

(2)   Under the terms of Mr. Subramanian’s employment agreement, he is eligible for an annual STI with a target payout of 100% of his base salary for the 2021 fiscal year. Target STI is equally split between MIP and SIP, prorated for his start date of April 19, 2021.  Mr. Subramanian’s 2021 cash STI includes $92,415 payable from the MIP and $178,369 payable from the SIP.

2021 Long-Term Incentive Equity Awards

The majority of the target compensation mix for our NEOs and other executive officers is provided through equity awards.  By having a significant percentage of our executive officers’ target compensation mix payable in

the form of equity that vests over a number of years, our executive officers are motivated to take actions that will benefit the Company and its stockholders over the long term.  Our 2021 LTI equity awards were granted to our NEOs as a mix of time-based stock options, RSUs, and PSUs. Because the long-term incentives played such a significant role in 2021 NEO compensation, we have provided more specific discussion and analysis with regard to the Compensation Committee and Board’s goals in providing those grants to our NEOs.

Company Performance Considerations in Grant Decisions

Within the long-term incentive structure laid out below, in fiscal year 2021, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board granted, equity awards to the NEOs which reflect the outstanding work by our management team in driving our strong financial performance. In determining the 2021 LTI equity awards, the Compensation Committee also considered the accomplishments of the Company led by Mr. Ossip and our NEOs in 2020 – such as delivery of new Dayforce features including Dayforce Wallet, a successful launch of native payroll in Mauritius, and expansion of operations in the Asia Pacific Japan region through the acquisition of Excelity.

LTI Structure Considerations

The Compensation Committee’s intent is to grant LTI equity awards annually to our NEOs that are structured in such a way as to align their interests with those of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors in determining the form of LTI such as stockholder alignment, share usage, performance, and retention in order to achieve this goal.

In the case of Mr. Ossip and Ms. Turner, the LTI equity awards granted in 2021 consist of time-based stock options (constituting 75% of the overall value of the annual LTI equity grants) and PSUs (constituting 25% of overall value of the annual LTI equity grants); and in the case of Mr. Armstrong the LTI equity award granted in 2021 consists of RSUs (constituting 50% of the overall value of the annual LTI equity grants) and PSUs (constituting 50% of overall value of the annual LTI equity grants). The Committee believes that stock options granted in 2021 are performance-based as they only generate value for recipients with share price appreciation. 

The PSUs were granted for NEOs and other management employees to earn a long-term incentive, contingent on the successful achievement of financial goals of strategic significance. As with our 2021 MIP, our performance metrics focus on top-line growth and profitable operations. These metrics are reflected as performance criteria within our 2021 PSUs and are the same metrics as the metrics for the 2021 MIP. The 2021 PSUs provided for a payment between 50% and 150% of the NEO’s individual PSU award for achievement between threshold and

Other Elements of Compensation

Employee Benefits

We offer healthcare, insurance, retirement benefits and paid time off for every employee at Ceridian, including our NEOs, to invest in our employees’ health and future. Benefits are substantially the same for all employees, including NEOs, based on country location. In addition, we offer select perquisites (e.g., parking benefit, recreational dues) to our executives, including our NEOs.

Global Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“GESPP”)

The Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. GESPP provides an opportunity for all employees to become Ceridian stockholders and drives employee engagement. This plan provides a 15% discount on the stock purchase price with a lookback feature.

Additional information on the employee benefits provided to our NEOs is provided in the “Summary Compensation Table” below.

Executive Severance

Within the employment agreements of the NEOs, we provide for severance payments and benefits in the event of a qualifying termination of employment, which may include varying severance payments based on the length of service to Ceridian. The Compensation Committee believes that these arrangements are competitively reasonable and necessary to recruit and retain key executives. The material terms of these severance payments to our NEOs are described in “Potential Payments upon Termination” below.

(2) One-third of the shares subject to the RSUs vest in equal installments over three years, beginning with the first anniversary of the grant date. As discussed below under “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” delivery of the underlying shares may be deferred to a date within 10 years of the grant date for our Canadian NEOs.

50   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

(4) Amount reported represents PSUs granted in fiscal 2021 under the 2018 EIP. The shares were awarded as part of the 2021 MIP to drive company results related to certain key financial metrics in 2021 which were (1) Cloud Revenue, and (2) Adjusted EBITDA Margin. The number of PSUs outlined in the table were equally split between the two financial metrics based on achievement of the metric at target performance. There is no public market for the PSUs. For purposes of this disclosure, we have valued the PSUs as of December 31, 2021, based on the then fair market value of our Common Stock of $104.46 per share. The shares fully vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to achieving the performance criteria.As discussed under “2021 Long-Term Incentive Equity Awards”, the PSU metrics achieved at 100.0% of target, resulting in:

• For the grant of 4,942 PSUs to Mr. Ossip, 4,942 shares are subject to vest on the first anniversary of the grant date;

• For the grant of 2,224 PSUs to Ms. Heuland, 2,224 shares are subject to vest on the first anniversary of the grant date;

• For the grant of 3,237 PSUs to Ms. Turner, 3,237 shares are subject to vest on the first anniversary of the grant date;

• For the grant of 2,428 PSUs to Mr. Armstrong, 2,428 shares are subject to vest on the first anniversary of the grant date;

• For the grant of 1,058 PSUs to Mr. Subramanian, 1,058 shares are subject to vest on the first anniversary of the grant date;

(5) Mr. Ossip received 1,500,000 performance-based stock option shares, whereas 750,000 shares are eligible to vest when the company’s per share closing price meets or exceeds a stock price threshold of $110.94 (1.7 times the exercise price), for ten consecutive trading days, and the remaining 750,000 shares are available to vest when the company’s per share closing price meets or exceeds a stock price threshold of $130.52 (2.0 times the exercise price) for ten consecutive trading days. If a stock price threshold is met on or before the third anniversary of the grant date, then the vesting of the Option Shares eligible to vest under the stock price threshold will occur on the third anniversary of the grant date. If a stock price threshold is met after the third anniversary of the grant date and on or before the fifth anniversary of the grant date, then vesting of the Option Shares eligible to vest under the stock price threshold will occur on the date the stock price threshold is met. If the stock price threshold is not met on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date, then the Option terminates as to any Option Shares eligible to vest under the unmet stock price threshold. Vesting is cliff based and no more than a total of 1,500,000 Option Shares may vest pursuant to the option. The first threshold of the performance-based stock option award was met, as beginning September 23, 2021, the share closing price met or exceeded $110.94 for 10 consecutive trading days. Therefore 750,000 shares are eligible to vest on May 8, 2023, subject to Mr. Ossip’s continued employment through vesting date.

(6) Twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the RSUs vest in equal installments over four years, beginning with the first anniversary of the grant date. As discussed below under “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” delivery of the underlying shares may be deferred to a date within 10 years of the grant date for our Canadian NEOs.

55   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

NEOs under various termination situations, and an explanation of the applicable calculations, are set forth under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” above.

We may elect to extend such restriction period by a total of either 12 months or 24 months, provided we pay Mr. Ossip a lump sum equal to his prior year’s base salary, plus $800,000, for each year the restriction period is extended.

The agreements with our other NEOs predominantly contain non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that apply during employment and for a certain period of time thereafter: (1) Ms. Turner, 18 months (for zero to seven full years of employment) and 24 months (for more than seven years of employment); (2) Ms. Heuland, 12 months; (3) Mr. Armstrong, 12 months (for zero to seven full years of employment), 15 months (for eight through 14 full years of employment), or 18 months (and for more than 14 full years of employment); (4) Mr. Subramanian, 12 months.

56   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

CEO Pay Ratio

In accordance with the requirements set forth by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are providing the following information about the ratio of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ossip.⁸ For fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, an estimate of this ratio is 127:1, and is based on Mr. Ossip’s 2021 total annual compensation of $10,626,701 and the total annual compensation of our median employee for fiscal year 2021 of $83,919. For fiscal year 2021 and as permitted by SEC rules, since there have been no significant changes to our workforce headcount or pay design that we believe would significantly change our CEO pay ratio results, we used the same employee or a similarly situated employee as the median employee which was first determined as of October 1, 2020, as described below. For this purpose, and as permitted by the SEC rules, we have excluded the following employees that became employees as a result of the acquisition of the following businesses:

• Ascender acquisition that closed on March 1, 2021; approximately 900 employees;

• Ideal acquisition that closed on April 30, 2021; approximately 33 employees;

• DataFuZion acquisition that closed on October 4, 2021; approximately 18 employees; and

• Adam HCM acquisition that closed on December 3, 2021; approximately 89 employees.

We believe this ratio is a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules, based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described below. The median employee used for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 analysis is a Software Developer who works virtually in Canada.

As disclosed in our 2021 Proxy Statement, our determination of which employee was the median employee was based on compensation data for the active global workforce as of October 1, 2020 (the “Determination Date”), which consisted of 5,933 workers (excluding Mr. Ossip), inclusive of full-time, part-time, and temporary workers. We ranked the relevant global workforce based on annual earnings, which included the following elements for the 12-month period preceding the Determination Date:

• Annualized base salary

• Overtime pay

• Actual cash bonus compensation paid

• Actual commissions paid

• The grant date fair market value of equity awards granted

The SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on the employees’ annual total compensation allows companies to adopt a variety of methodologies and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. We believe our methodology provides reasonable estimates calculated in a method consistent with the pay ratio disclosure requirements. Pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio as reported above as other companies may have different compensation practices and utilize alternative estimates, exclusions, assumptions, and methodologies based on their own unique circumstances.

⁸  Ms. Turner and Mr. Ossip were made co-Chief Executive Officers on February 9, 2022, outside of the measurement period.

PROPOSAL TWO

Advisory Vote on the Compensation of Ceridian’s Named Executive Officers

We are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Ceridian’s NEOs as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the accompanying compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure on pages 32 to 58 of this Proxy Statement, pursuant to the following resolution:

58   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

PROPOSAL THREE

Ratification of the Appointment of KPMG LLP as our Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm for Fiscal Year 2022

Our Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm, and is involved in the selection of the firm’s lead engagement partner who is subject to a mandatory, regular rotation and who may provide services to our company for a maximum of five consecutive years.

In selecting and approving a lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee relies on relevant succession criteria established by management and the Audit Committee, interactions with prospective candidates, assessments of their professional experience, and input from our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also engages in an annual evaluation of the independent registered public accounting firm. It considers, in particular, whether the retention of the firm is in the best interests of our Company and its stockholders, taking into account the firm’s quality of service, the firm’s institutional knowledge and experience, our Company’s global operations and businesses, the firm’s sufficiency of resources, the quality of the communication and interaction with the firm, and the firm’s independence, objectivity, and professional skepticism. The Audit Committee also considers the advisability and potential impact of selecting a different independent registered public accounting firm.

After assessing the qualifications, performance, and independence of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), which has served as our, or our predecessor’s, independent registered public accounting firm since 1958, the Audit Committee concluded that retaining KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2022 is in the best interests of Ceridian. Therefore, the Audit Committee has appointed KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of Ceridian for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Although it is not required to do so, our Board is asking our stockholders to ratify KPMG’s appointment. If our stockholders do not ratify KPMG’s appointment, the Audit Committee will consider changing our independent registered public accounting firm for 2022. Whether or not stockholders ratify KPMG’s appointment, the Audit Committee may appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change is appropriate. KPMG has advised the Audit Committee that it is an independent accounting firm with respect to Ceridian and its affiliates in accordance with the requirements of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). Representatives of KPMG are expected to be present at our Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they choose, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate stockholder questions.

Audit Fees

The following table sets forth the fees billed or expected to be billed by KPMG for audit, audit-related, tax and all other services rendered for fiscal years 2021 and 2020:

		2021		2020
Fee Category	(In thousands)

Audit-Related Fees		1,512			1,140
Tax Fees		354			187
All Other Fees		—			—
Total Fees		$	4,306	$	3,673

Audit Fees. Consist of fees for services rendered for the audit and/or review of our consolidated financial statements. Audit fees also include fees for services rendered in connection with the filing of registration statements and other documents with the SEC, and the issuance of accountant consents and comfort letters.

Audit-Related Fees. Consist of aggregate fees for accounting consultations and other services that were reasonably related to the performance of audits or reviews of our consolidated financial statements and were not reported above under “Audit Fees.”

59   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Tax Fees. Consist of aggregate fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services, including the review and preparation of certain foreign income tax returns.

All Other Fees. Consist of fees billed in the indicated year for other permissible work performed by KPMG that is not included within the above category descriptions.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

We have adopted a policy under which the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. As part of its review, the Audit Committee also considers whether the categories of pre-approved services are consistent with the rules on independence. The Audit Committee pre-approved all services performed by KPMG in fiscal year 2021.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2022.  

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

The Audit Committee’s general role is to assist the Board in monitoring our financial reporting process and related matters. Its specific responsibilities are set forth in its charter.

The Audit Committee has reviewed our audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2021 and met with management, as well as with representatives of KPMG, our independent registered public accounting firm, to discuss the audited consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with members of KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the SEC.

In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with members of KPMG its independence.

Based on these discussions, the financial statement review and other matters it deemed relevant, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that Ceridian’s audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2021 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Beneficial Ownership of Preferred Stock

As of the Record Date, Ceridian has one share of special voting preferred stock outstanding, par value $0.01 per share (the “Special Voting Share”). The trustee who holds the Special Voting Share (the “Trustee”) holds legal title to the Special Voting Share for the use and benefit of the registered holders of Exchangeable Shares.

In connection with the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement dated April 25, 2018, among Ceridian, Ceridian Canada Ltd., Ceridian AcquisitionCo ULC and the Trustee, the Trustee is entitled, with respect to any matter, question, proposal or proposition whatsoever that may properly come before Ceridian’s Annual Meeting and with respect to all written consents sought from the holders of Ceridian’s Common Stock, to cast the number of votes for each Exchangeable Share equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of each Exchangeable Share held by registered holders of such Exchangeable Shares on the Record Date and for which the Trustee has received voting instructions from such holders.

Except as specifically authorized, the Trustee has no power or authority to sell, transfer, vote or otherwise deal in or with the Special Voting Share. The Trustee is not entitled to receive any portion of any dividend or distribution at any time. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Ceridian, the Trustee will not be entitled to any portion of any related distribution.

At such time as (i) there are no Exchangeable Shares of Ceridian AcquisitionCo ULC issued and outstanding that are not owned by Ceridian or any subsidiary of Ceridian, and (ii) there is no share of stock, debt, option or other agreement, obligation or commitment of Ceridian AcquisitionCo ULC which could by its terms require Ceridian AcquisitionCo ULC to issue any Exchangeable Shares to any person other than Ceridian or any subsidiary of Ceridian, then the Special Voting Share will be retired and cancelled promptly for no consideration and will not be reissued.

The Special Voting Share is held by Barbara Ferreri. The address for Barbara Ferreri is c/o Corporate Secretary, Ceridian HCM Holding Inc., 3311 East Old Shakopee Road, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425.

Proxy Materials	On or about March 23, 2022, we mailed or made available to our stockholders the proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement, the 2021 Annual Report, and form of proxy or the Notice of Internet Availability.

66   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

How to Vote	There are four ways a stockholder of record can vote: (1)    By internet at proxyvote.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week (have your proxy card in hand when you visit the website); (2)    By toll-free telephone at 1-800-690-6903 (have your proxy card in hand when you call); (3)    By completing and mailing your proxy card; or (4)    By electronic ballot at the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee, please follow the bank’s, broker’s, or other nominee’s instructions, as applicable. If you hold Exchangeable Shares, you are entitled to direct the Trustee to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of the Exchangeable Shares you held on the Record Datevia one of the voting methods described above. The Trustee will vote pursuant to your voting instructions, which must be received prior to 5:00pm (Central Daylight Time) on April 28, 2022. Holders of Exchangeable Shares will receive a separate notice containing further details regarding voting instructions.
Admission	The Annual Meeting will be a virtual meeting conducted on the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CDAY2022 Admission to the Annual Meeting is restricted to stockholders as of the close of business on the Record Date, valid proxy holders of such stockholders, and/or their designated representatives. To participate in the virtual meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number that is printed in the box marked by the arrow on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials). If your shares are held in the name of a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by them in order to participate in the virtual meeting. We recommend that you log in 15 minutes before the start of the Annual Meeting to ensure sufficient time to complete the check-in procedures.
Quorum	A majority of the shares of all issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote on the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy to constitute a quorum.

If you hold shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee, please contact that firm for instructions on how to revoke your prior voting instructions.

67   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Votes Required to
Adopt Proposals   Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on any proposal presented to stockholders at the Annual Meeting, and the Trustee is entitled to vote on all matters that a holder of our Common Stock is entitled to vote on and is entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Exchangeable Shares then outstanding. As of the Record Date, 150,109,435 shares of Common Stock were outstanding and the Special Voting Share represents an additional 1,956,790 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Exchangeable Shares, for a total of 152,066,225 votes represented by the outstanding shares of Voting Stock.   For Proposal One, the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of votes cast. This means that the four nominees receiving the most “FOR” votes from the holders of the votes represented by the Voting Stock present at the Annual Meeting (either in person or by proxy) and voting on the matter will be elected. Only votes “FOR” will affect the outcome. There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors. If your broker holds your shares, your broker is not entitled to vote your shares on this proposal without your instruction. Votes “Withheld” and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.   For Proposal Two, regarding the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, the proposal must receive “FOR” votes from the holders of a majority of the votes represented by the Voting Stock present at the Annual Meeting (in person or by proxy) and voting on the matter. Votes may be cast in favor of or against the proposal or you may “Abstain.” If your broker holds your shares, your broker is not entitled to vote your shares on this proposal without your instruction. As the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not affect any compensation already paid or awarded to any NEO and will not be binding on or overrule any decisions by the Compensation Committee or the Board. However, because we value our stockholders’ view, the Compensation Committee and Board will carefully consider the results of this advisory vote when formulating future executive compensation philosophy, policies, and practices.   For Proposal Three, ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, the proposal must receive “FOR” votes from the holders of at least a majority of the votes represented by the Voting Stock present at the Annual Meeting (in person or by proxy) and voting on the matter. Votes may be cast in favor of or against the proposal or you may “Abstain.” Your broker or other nominee will have the discretion to vote your shares on this proposal without your instruction.  

68   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Broker Non-Votes	A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee, such as a broker or bank, holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions with respect to that proposal from the beneficial owner. If a broker, bank, custodian, nominee, or other record holder of our Common Stock indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a particular proposal, then the votes represented by those shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to that proposal. In this regard, the election of directors (Proposal One), and Say on Pay (Proposal Two) are matters considered non-routine under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore we expect broker non-votes on Proposal One and Proposal Two. Proposal Three is a routine matter, so we do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to Proposal One or Proposal Two, your broker may not vote with respect to those proposals. Accordingly, if you own shares through a nominee, such as a broker or bank, please be sure to instruct your nominee how to vote to ensure that your vote is counted on all proposals.
Voting Instructions	If you complete and submit your proxy voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will follow your instructions. If you submit proxy voting instructions but do not indicate how your shares should be voted on each item, the persons named as proxies will vote “FOR” the election of directors (Proposal One), “FOR” the Say on Pay vote (Proposal Two) and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (Proposal Three). The persons named as proxies will vote on any other matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting in accordance with their best judgment. We have not received timely notice of any other matters that may be properly presented for voting at the Annual Meeting.
Voting Results	We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will report final voting results by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final results are not available at that time, we will provide preliminary results in the Form 8-K and will provide the final results in an amendment to the Form 8-K as soon as they become available.

69   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

Additional Solicitation/ Costs

We are paying for the distribution of the proxy materials and solicitation of the proxies. As part of this process, we reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to our stockholders. Proxy solicitation expenses that we will pay include those for preparation, mailing, returning, and tabulating the proxies. Our directors, officers, and employees may also solicit proxies on our behalf in person, by telephone, email, or facsimile, but they do not receive additional compensation for providing those services. We have retained the services of Georgeson LLC and may retain the services of other third-parties, to solicit the proxies of certain stockholders for the Annual Meeting. The cost of such services to be rendered by Georgeson LLC is estimated to be $22,500.

Householding

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” can provide extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Ceridian and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or Ceridian that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold Common Stock directly. Any such requests to us in writing should be addressed to: Ceridian HCM Holding Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 3311 East Old Shakopee Road, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425.

70   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

TRANSACTION OF OTHER BUSINESS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons appointed in the accompanying proxy intend to vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their best judgment on such matters, under applicable laws.

Stockholder Communications

The Board provides to every stockholder the ability to communicate with the Board through an established process for stockholder communications. Stockholders and other interested parties may send communications to our Board through our Corporate Secretary at stockholders@ceridian.com or via U.S. mail: Ceridian HCM Holding Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 3311 East Old Shakopee Road, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425, Attn: Board of Directors. Stockholders may indicate that their communications are intended for the full Board or any subset of directors, including only the Chair of the Board, only the Lead Director, or only the non-employee directors. The Corporate Secretary will review all such incoming communications and forward any stockholder communication to the appropriate member(s) of the Board or Board committees. The Corporate Secretary will generally not forward communications that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board, including communications that the Corporate Secretary determines to be primarily commercial in nature, product complaints or inquiries, or materials that are patently offensive or otherwise inappropriate.

Procedures for Submitting Stockholder Proposals

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Brought Before the Annual Meeting.

Our second amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that nominations of persons for election to our Board and other proposals to be considered at an annual meeting of stockholders must comply with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws require that a stockholder give written notice to our Corporate Secretary, c/o Ceridian HCM Holding Inc., 3311 East Old Shakopee Road, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425, with such notice to be delivered to or mailed and received not later than the close of business 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the preceding year’s annual meeting. Since our Proxy Statement for the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is dated March 23, 2022, stockholder proposals must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than close of business November 23, 2022, in order to be raised at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our Bylaws also provide that in the event the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or after May 3, 2023 (the one-year anniversary of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), notice must be delivered not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to be Considered for Inclusion in Our Proxy Materials.

Any stockholder who wishes to submit a proposal for inclusion in our proxy materials must comply with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For such proposals to be included in our proxy materials relating to our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 must be satisfied, and we must receive such proposals no later than November 23, 2022. Such proposals must be delivered to our Corporate Secretary, c/o Ceridian HCM Holding Inc., 3311 East Old Shakopee Road, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425. If we hold our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders more than 30 days before or after May 3, 2023 (the one-year anniversary date of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders), we will disclose the new deadline by which stockholders’ proposals must be received in our earliest possible Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or, if that method is impracticable, by any means reasonably determined to inform stockholders.

Exemption from Toronto Stock Exchange Rules

Ceridian is an “Eligible International Interlisted Issuer,” as such term is defined in the TSX Company Manual (the “Manual”). As an Eligible International Interlisted Issuer, Ceridian has applied for and received an exemption pursuant to Section 401.1 of the Manual from Sections 461.1 to 461.4 and Section 464 of the Manual, the effect of which is that Ceridian will not have to comply with certain Canadian requirements relating to majority voting and the annual election of directors. As an “Eligible International Interlisted Issuer,” Ceridian is also exempt from, among other things, Sections 604 and 613 of the Manual.

Ceridian sought the exemption on the basis that (i) Ceridian’s primary listing is the NYSE; (ii) Ceridian is incorporated in the state of Delaware; and (iii) less than 25% of trading volume in Ceridian’s shares was on Canadian marketplaces. Ceridian is required to notify the TSX of its continued reliance on the exemption before each successive annual meeting of stockholders.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Based on a review of Section 16 reports filed with the SEC, we believe all reports required to be filed during the 2021 fiscal year pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were filed on a timely basis.

APPENDIX A

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures in this Proxy Statement including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, revenue on a constant currency basis, Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, Cloud revenue retention rate, and Cloud annual recurring revenue (“ARR”). We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Cloud revenue retention rate, and Cloud ARR, non-GAAP financial measures, are useful to management and investors as supplemental measures to evaluate our overall operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are components of our management incentive plan and are used by management to assess performance and to compare our operating performance to our competitors. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude foreign exchange gain (loss), share-based compensation expense and related employer taxes, severance charges, restructuring consulting fees, and other non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin is determined by calculating the percentage Adjusted EBITDA is of total revenue. Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin are helpful in highlighting management performance trends because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin exclude the results of decisions that are outside the normal course of our business operations.

Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as measures of operating cash flows or liquidity. Our presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by similar items to those eliminated in this presentation. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin are included in this discussion because they are key metrics used by management to assess our operating performance.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not defined under GAAP, are not measures of net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, and are subject to important limitations. Our use of the terms EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry and are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

In evaluating EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to those eliminated in this presentation.

We present revenue on a constant currency basis to assess how our underlying businesses performed, excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, which we believe is useful to management and investors. Revenue was calculated on a constant currency basis by applying the average foreign exchange rate in effect during the comparable prior period.

Our Dayforce recurring revenue per customer is an indicator of the average size of our Dayforce recurring customer. To calculate Dayforce recurring revenue per customer, we start with Dayforce recurring revenue, excluding Ascender and ADAM HCM, on a constant currency basis by applying the same exchange rate to all comparable periods for the trailing twelve months and exclude float revenue, the impact of lower employment levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ascender and ADAM HCM revenue. This amount is divided by the number of live Dayforce customers at the end of the trailing twelve month period, excluding Ascender and ADAM HCM. We set quarterly targets for Dayforce recurring revenue per customer and monitor progress toward those targets on a quarterly basis. Our Dayforce recurring revenue per customer may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of live Dayforce customers and the number of customers purchasing the full HCM suite. We have not reconciled the Dayforce recurring revenue per customer because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

73   2022 PROXY STATEMENT

We derive the majority of our Cloud revenues from recurring fees, primarily per employee, per month subscription charges. We also derive recurring revenue from fees related to the rental and maintenance of clocks, charges for once-a-year services, such as year-end tax statements, and investment income on our customer funds before such funds are remitted to taxing authorities, customer employees, or other third parties. To calculate Cloud ARR, we start with recurring revenue at year end, excluding revenue from Ascender and ADAM HCM, subtract the once-a-year charges, annualize the revenue for customers live for less than a full year to reflect the revenue that would have been realized if the customer had been live for a full year, and add back the once-a-year charges. We set annual targets for Cloud ARR and monitor progress toward those targets on a quarterly basis. We have not reconciled the Cloud ARR because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Our annual Cloud revenue retention rate measures the percentage of revenues that we retain from our existing Cloud customers. We use this revenue retention rate as an indicator of customer satisfaction and future revenues. We calculate the annual Cloud revenue retention rate as a percentage, excluding Ascender and ADAM HCM, where the numerator is the Cloud ARR for the prior year, less the Cloud ARR from lost Cloud customers during that year; and the denominator is the Cloud ARR for the prior year. We set annual targets for Cloud revenue retention rate and monitor progress toward those targets on a quarterly basis by reviewing known customer losses and anticipated future customer losses. Our Cloud revenue retention rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the mix of Cloud solutions used by customers, the level of customer satisfaction, and changes in the number of users live on our Cloud solutions. We have not reconciled the annual Cloud revenue retention rate because there is no directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
