3.02 Incentive Plan.  Employee shall be eligible to participate in a variable incentive plan (the “Incentive Plan”) (i) on the same terms and conditions applicable to other similarly situated Ceridian employees, (ii) with a target annual value based on sixty percent (60%)  of Employee’s Base Salary, prorated for the number of months Employee participates in the Incentive Plan during a year.  The Incentive Plan compensation payable shall be at the sole discretion of Ceridian HCM.  The specific objectives and success criteria of the Incentive Plan shall be established by Ceridian each year, subject to change from time to time, in its sole discretion.  Ceridian shall have the right to alter, amend or discontinue any incentive plans, including the Incentive Plan, or Employee’s participation therein, with or without prior notice and without compensation to Employee, provided the changes are consistent with those affecting other employees at Employee’s same or similar level and the Employee acknowledges and agrees that such changes will not constitute a constructive dismissal of the Employee’s employment. Payment, if any, under the Incentive Plan is at the sole discretion of Ceridian HCM and will only be made if Ceridian’s senior management team, the Board of Directors, compensation committee and/or other required personnel approve the amount to fund the Plan.

Employee shall receive his full target bonus (prorated for the number of months Employee participates in the Incentive Plan) in cash in 2020, payable at the same time as other Incentive Plan payments.

3.03 Signing bonus. Employee will be entitled to a one-time signing bonus in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) USD (less applicable statutory withholdings as required by law), which will be paid to the Employee at the same time as the first regular payment of the Employee’s Base Salary. Employee must be employed by Ceridian HCM at the time such bonus is to be paid in order to be entitled to receive it.  If Employee voluntarily terminates employment with Ceridian, or Ceridian terminates the Employee’s employment for Cause (as defined by Article 4.01 hereof) at any time within 3 years from the Employee’s Start Date, the Employee will be required to repay Ceridian the amount of this signing bonus, pro-rated based on the number of completed years worked less than 3 (i.e. if Employee resigns after completing one year of work, Employee will be required to pay two-thirds (2/3) of the signing bonus).

3.05 Business Expenses.  Ceridian HCM shall, consistent with its policies in effect from time to time, bear all ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Employee in performing his or her duties as an employee of Ceridian HCM, provided that Employee accounts promptly for such expenses to Ceridian HCM in accordance with Ceridian HCM’s applicable expense reimbursement policy the manner prescribed from time to time by Ceridian HCM.

3.07 Equity Grants.  Subject to approval by the Board and the execution and delivery of appropriate documentation related thereto, Ceridian HCM will recommend to the Board of Directors to provide the Employee with a restricted stock units (“RSUs”) award under the Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (as may be amended from time to time (“2018 EIP”)) with a value of Five Million ($5,000,000) USD. All equity awards are granted subject to and in conformity with the provisions of the 2018 EIP, the applicable award agreement, and/or such other agreements as may be required to be entered into between the Employee and Ceridian.  On the date of grant of the equity awards, the number of RSUs awarded will be determined based upon the closing price of a share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange.  Ceridian’s ticker symbol is “CDAY”.  Details of the RSU award will be communicated to the Employee under separate cover upon approval by our Board of Directors.

Each RSU grant will vest in three equal tranches, one third (1/3) each, on the first three (3) anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to the Employee’s continued service through the applicable vesting date.

3.08 LTIP In addition, Employee will be eligible to participate in the Ceridian’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), commensurate with Employee’s level in place from time to time.  Any granting under the LTIP plan would be conditional upon Company performance, individual performance, any other measure as deemed appropriate in Ceridian’s sole discretion and subject to board approval.  The Company has the right to change the plan, including discontinuation, at Ceridian’s sole discretion.

For 2021, the Employee’s LTIP award will have a fair market value equal to no less than Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars USD in the form of either stock options, RSUs and/or performance awards (shares) based on specific performance objectives and success criteria established by Ceridian, subject to change from time to time, in its sole discretion.

Future long-term equity incentive grants will reflect levels of competitiveness consistent with Ceridian’s compensation philosophy.  The specific objectives and success criteria of the long-term equity incentive shall be established by Ceridian each year, subject to change from time to time, in its sole discretion.  Ceridian shall have the right to alter, amend or discontinue any long term equity incentive plan or Employee’s participation therein, with or without prior notice and without compensation to Employee, provided the changes are consistent with those affecting other employees at Employee’s same or similar level and the Employee acknowledges and agrees that such changes will not constitute a constructive dismissal of the Employee’s employment.   

All options contemplated under this Section 3.08 shall be provided subject to and in conformity with the provisions of the 2018 EIP (and / or such other agreements as may be required by Ceridian HCM Holding) to be entered into between Employee and Ceridian HCM Holding.

In addition to any benefits provided under applicable law, Employee will be entitled to the benefits of those provisions of Ceridian HCM’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as may be amended from time to time, which provide for indemnification of directors and officers of Ceridian HCM (and no such provision shall be amended in any way to limit or reduce the extent of indemnification available to the Employee as a director or officer of Ceridian HCM).

4.07 Code Section 409A.  It is the parties’ intention that payments under this ARTICLE 4 will be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) because they are short term deferrals under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(4) or payments under a separation pay plan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(b)(9) and the Agreement shall be construed and administered in a manner consistent with such intent.  If any payment is or becomes subject to the requirements of Section 409A, the Agreement, as it relates to such payment, is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.  Further, any payments that are subject to the requirements of Section 409A may be accelerated or delayed only if and to the extent otherwise permitted under Section 409A.  All payments to be made under the Agreement upon a termination of employment may only be made upon a “separation of service” as defined under Section 409A and any “separation from service” shall be treated as a termination of employment.  If the provision of a benefit or a payment is determined to be subject to Section 409A, then, if Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 409A as of Employee’s date of termination, no amount that constitutes a deferral of compensation that is payable on account of the Employee’s separation from service shall be paid to Employee before the date that is the first day of the seventh month after Employee’s date of termination or, if earlier, the date of Employee’s death (the “delayed payment date”).  All such withheld amounts will be accumulated and paid, without interest, on the delayed payment date.   

Page 8

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to payments that are not exempt from Section 409A (if any) and are subject to the Employee’s execution and delivery of a release:

(i) If the Employee fails to execute the release on or prior to the expiration date set forth in the release or timely revokes Employee’s acceptance of the release thereafter, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits otherwise conditioned on the release, and

(ii) In any case where the employment termination date and the latest date the release revocation period could expire fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to the Employee that are conditioned on the release (and would otherwise be made in the earlier of such taxable years) shall be made in the later taxable year.  Any payments that are delayed pursuant to this Section (ii) shall be paid in a lump sum on the latest of the date the Employee executes and does not revoke the release (and the applicable revocation period has expired), the first business day in such later taxable year, or the date payment is otherwise due under the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5 CONFIDENTIALITY AND ETHICS

ARTICLE 7
NON-DISPARAGEMENT, NON-RECRUITMENT and DUTY OF LOYALTY

7.01General.  The parties hereto recognize and agree that (a) Employee is a senior employee of Ceridian, (b) Employee has received, and will in the future receive Confidential Information (c) Ceridian’s business is conducted on a worldwide basis and, (d) provision for non-disparagement obligations by Employee is critical to Ceridian’s continued economic well-being and protection of Ceridian’s Confidential Information. In light of these considerations, this ARTICLE 7 sets forth the terms and conditions of this Employees obligations of non-disparagement subsequent to the termination of this Agreement and/or Employee’s employment for any reason.

Page 10

writing to any third party, Ceridian, its business or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents.  This paragraph will not be construed or applied in a manner that interferes with Employee’s rights under the National Labor Relations Act, including but not limited to Employee’s rights to discuss working conditions and other work-related information with co-workers.

7.03 Duty of Loyalty. During the terms of this Agreement, Employee will devote full time and energy to furthering Ceridian’s business and will not pursue any other business activity without Ceridian’s written consent.

7.03Non-Recruitment. During the term of employment and for a one year period  following termination of employment for any reason, Employee will not directly or indirectly hire any of Ceridian’s employees, or solicit any of Ceridian’s employees for the purpose of hiring them or inducing them to leave their employment with Ceridian, nor will Employee own, manage, operate, join, control, consult with, participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, be employed by or be connected in any manner with any person or entity which engages in the conduct prescribed in this Section. This provision shall not preclude Employee from responding to a request (other than by Employee’s employer) for a reference with respect to an individual’s employment qualifications.  This Section shall be limited to situations where Employee is aided in his or her conduct by the use or disclosure of trade secrets (as defined by California law, as appropriate).

Notwithstanding Employee’s obligations under this ARTICLE 7 and otherwise, Employee understands that pursuant to 18 U.S.C § 1833(b)(1): “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.” Accordingly, Employee acknowledges that Employee has the right to disclose in confidence trade secrets to Federal, State, and local government officials, or to an attorney, for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law. Employee also acknowledges that Employee has the right to disclose trade secrets in a document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, but only if the filing is made under seal and protected from public disclosure. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b).

7.04 Survival and Enforceability. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.03, the obligations of this ARTICLE 7 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement and Employee’s employment. Should any provisions of this ARTICLE 7 be held invalid or illegal, such illegality shall not invalidate the whole of this ARTICLE 7 or the agreement, but, rather, ARTICLE 7 shall be construed as if it did not contain the illegal part or narrowed to permit its enforcement, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly.  Employee acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this ARTICLE 7 shall be construed in a manner that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its expressed terms) possible under applicable

Page 11

Privacy Guidelines & Pledge of Confidentiality

As an employee of Ceridian HCM, Inc. or one of its affiliates (collectively “Ceridian”), you will be in a position of trust and confidence, and will have access to and become familiar with Confidential Information (as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement to which this Appendix is attached) created, developed, used by or in possession of Ceridian.  The unauthorized uploading, downloading, copying, transfer, disclosure to or unauthorized use could seriously harm Ceridian’s business and cause monetary loss that would be difficult, if not impossible, to measure

Ceridian is sensitive to the necessity of maintaining the confidentiality of Confidential Information.  Ceridian recognizes both the inherent right to privacy of every individual and its obligation to preserve the confidentiality of Confidential Information kept in its files.  Ceridian is also aware of the concerns about individual privacy and perceived possible abuses of Confidential Information kept in automated data banks and other forms.  Ceridian has, therefore, established privacy guidelines to ensure the protection, to the best of Ceridian’s ability, of all Confidential Information in its possession, in whatever form it is kept, whether it be an automated data bank, manual (or paper) file, microfiche or any other form.  Accordingly, all Confidential Information in the possession of Ceridian, whether from clients or from Ceridian’s own employees or contractors, must be handled and protected in accordance with the following principles:

1. The independent consideration which you shall be entitled to receive in consideration of agreeing to the terms of this Appendix, shall consist of employment by Ceridian in accordance with Ceridian’s written offer of employment. You acknowledge that the foregoing independent consideration consists of real, bargained-for benefits to which you would have no entitlement but for your agreement to be bound by the terms set forth in this Appendix. You further acknowledge that you were not entitled to receive the foregoing independent consideration prior to agreeing to the terms of this Appendix.  The terms of this Appendix shall and do form an integral part of the terms of your employment with Ceridian, and shall be considered incorporated into the terms of your offer of employment and / or employment agreement with Ceridian.

2. You acknowledge Ceridian’s representation that it has taken and intends to take reasonable measures to preserve the secrecy of its Confidential Information, including, but not limited to, requiring you to agree to the terms of this Appendix, as a condition of and part of the terms of your employment with Ceridian. You will hold all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence, and will not directly or indirectly copy, reproduce, disclose or divulge, or permit access to or use of, or obtain any benefit from, the Confidential Information or directly or indirectly use the Confidential Information other than as (a) as reasonably required to perform your duties as an employee of Ceridian, or (b) in the reasonable conduct of the business and your role within the business.  For greater certainty, you shall not use the Confidential Information directly or indirectly upload, download, copy, transfer, in any business other than the business of Ceridian, without the prior written consent of Ceridian.  Confidential Information is the exclusive property of Ceridian or its Clients (as the case may be), and you will not divulge any Confidential Information to any person except to Ceridian’s qualified employees or advisers or other  third parties with whom Ceridian has confidential business relations, and you will not, at any time, use Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever, except as required to perform your duties as an employee of Ceridian or in the reasonable conduct of the business or your role within the business.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Confidential Information received from a Client is to be used only for the purposes intended by the Client when entering into an agreement with Ceridian, and will not be uploaded, downloaded, copied, transferred or used for any other purpose.  Confidential Information will only be kept for

the limited period of time necessary for Ceridian to fulfil its obligations.  Regardless of the reason for termination of your employment (and whether or not you or Ceridian terminate the employment relationship): (a) you will not after the term of your employment, disclose Confidential Information which you may learn or acquire during your employment to any other person or entity or use any Confidential Information for your  own benefit or for the benefit of another; and (b) you will immediately deliver to Ceridian all property and Confidential Information in your possession or control which belong to Ceridian.

3. You acknowledge that your breach of the terms of this Appendix may cause irreparable harm to Ceridian and that such harm may not be compensable entirely with monetary damages. If you violate the terms of this Appendix, Ceridian may seek injunctive relief or any other remedy allowed at law, in equity, or under the terms of this agreement. In connection with any suit by Ceridian hereunder, Ceridian shall be entitled to an accounting, and to the repayment of all profits, compensation, commissions, fees or other remuneration which you have realized, as a result of the violation of the terms of this agreement which is the subject of the suit. You acknowledge and agree that nothing herein shall affect Ceridian’s rights to bring an action in a court of law for any legal claim against any third party who aids you in violating the terms of this agreement or who benefits in any way from your violation hereof.  

4. You understand and agree that the terms of this Appendix shall apply no matter when, how or why your employment terminates and regardless whether the termination is voluntary or involuntary, and that the terms shall survive the termination of your employment.

5. If any one or more of the terms of this Appendix are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law, the validity, enforceability and legality of the remaining provisions will not, in any way, be affected by or impaired thereby; and, notwithstanding the foregoing, all provisions hereof shall be enforced to the extent that is reasonable.

6. Ceridian’s decision to refrain from enforcing a breach of any term of this Appendix will not prevent Ceridian from enforcing the terms hereof as to any other breach that Ceridian discovers and shall not operate as a waiver against any future enforcement of any part of this Appendix, any other agreement with you or any other agreement with any other employee of Ceridian.

7. You hereby represent and agree with Ceridian that: (a) you are not bound or restricted by a non-competition agreement, a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement, or any other agreement with a former employer or other third party, which would conflict with the terms of this offer; and (b) you will not use any trade secrets or other intellectual property belonging to any third party while performing services for Ceridian; and (c) you are of legal age, under no legal disability, have full legal authority to enter into this agreement and have had a reasonable and adequate opportunity to consult with independent counsel regarding the effect of this Appendix, the sufficiency of the independent consideration provided to you, and the reasonableness of the restrictions set forth herein.

Ceridian employs a Privacy Officer who is charged with ensuring that Ceridian complies with all privacy-related obligations imposed by statute or contract.  Any questions regarding the collection, use, access, disclosure, retention or destruction of Confidential Information should be directed to the Privacy Officer.

Adherence to the guidelines set out above is a requirement for continued employment with Ceridian.  Material breaches of these guidelines may result in discipline up to and including dismissal, or in the case of contractors, cancellation of your contract with Ceridian.

APPENDIX C

Intellectual Property Agreement

In consideration of Ceridian HCM, Inc. or one of its affiliates (collectively “Ceridian”) offering me employment, I hereby expressly acknowledge and agree as follows:

1.0 Except for inventions excluded under Cal. Labor Code § 2870 and disclosed by me on Appendix D, all  Ceridian developments which I may solely or jointly author, conceive, or develop, or reduce to practice, or cause to be authored, conceived, or developed, or reduced to practice, during the term of my employment with Ceridian (collectively “Developments”) are the property of Ceridian. I will promptly make fullest disclosure to Ceridian of all Ceridian Developments.  I further agree to execute such documents and do such things as Ceridian may reasonably require from time to time to assign to Ceridian all right, title, and interest in and to all Ceridian Developments, and agree, at Ceridian’s expense, during the term of my employment and thereafter, to execute any and all applications or assignments relating to intellectual property including patents, copyrights, industrial designs and trademarks, and to execute any proper oath or verify any proper document in connection with carrying out the terms of this agreement.

2.0 In the event Ceridian is unable for any reason whatsoever to secure my signature to any lawful and necessary documents relating to paragraph 1 hereof and to apply for, or to prosecute, any applications for letters patent, copyright, designs or trademarks (foreign or domestic) in respect to the Ceridian Developments, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Ceridian and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in my behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, copyright, designs or trademarks thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.

3.0 At the time of leaving the employ of Ceridian I will deliver to Ceridian, and will not keep in my possession, nor deliver to anyone else, any and all information in any tangible form and all copies, partial copies, notes, summaries, records, descriptions, drawings, reports and other documents, data or materials of or relating to the Ceridian Developments or which contain or make reference to the Ceridian Developments, in my possession or control.

4.0 I hereby waive for the benefit of Ceridian and, where legally possible, assign to Ceridian any moral rights I have, or may in the future have, in any Ceridian Developments.

5.0 This agreement shall extend to and endure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Ceridian and shall be binding upon me and my heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

APPENDIX D INVENTIONS EXCLUDED UNDER CAL. LABOR CODE § 2870

Section 2870 of California Labor Code provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, rights in invention to employer, as follows:

(a) Any provision and employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer's business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. (b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

Pursuant herein, identified below are all inventions that have been made or conceived or first reduced to practice by myself alone or jointly with others prior to my employment with the Company. If there are no Inventions listed, I represents that I have made no such inventions.
