Statement from Ceridian President Dave MacKay and Chief Executive Officer David Ossip:

Ceridian’s first concern is always the safety and well-being of our employees. At approximately 9:30 a.m. today, four Ceridian employees were attacked by a former employee at our Toronto office.

Out of respect for the privacy of the individual and their family, we are not able to share or comment on the specifics of the individual’s condition but all four employees are being treated by medical experts at area hospitals.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. As you might imagine, this is a very difficult time. The entire Ceridian family is shocked and deeply saddened by this incident.

We are working closely with the Toronto Police Department and are offering our full cooperation during their investigation. Because this incident is currently under investigation, we are not able to provide any additional information. Please contact the Public Information Officer with the Toronto Police Department at 416-808-7100.
