Ceridian to hire 220 in 2011

ST. PETERSBURG — Ceridian Corp. plans to hire 220 employees this year. If it reaches that number, the St. Petersburg-based company could receive $1.9 million in tax refunds.

The new hires will be distributed among two of Ceridian's business divisions — human resource management and credit-and-payment management.

St. Petersburg Mayor Bill Foster said the hiring would provide the city with $9.765 million in “payroll growth.” Spread across 220 new hires, that would set the average salary for Ceridian's new employees at just more than $44,000 a year.
