Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 4, 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ceridian HCM Holding Inc. (the “Company”) approved payouts under the Company’s 2019 Management Incentive Plan (the “2019 MIP”), including payouts to the Company’s named executive officers listed in the Company’s proxy statement, dated March 22, 2019, for the Company’s 2019 annual stockholders meeting (the “NEOs”).

The 2019 MIP was designed to drive Company results related to its key financial metrics and to provide incentive compensation to active eligible employees who play a key role in the Company accomplishing its objectives.  The 2019 MIP covered the incentive period of January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.  Receipt of cash incentive compensation under the 2019 MIP was based on the Company’s achievement of revenue and adjusted EBITDA financial goals for fiscal year 2019. Target incentive compensation amounts were weighted 50% for the revenue goal and 50% for the adjusted EBITDA goal. Both revenue and adjusted EBITDA were calculated based on the Company’s operating results, adjusted for foreign currency and interest rate impacts plus other unique impacts as approved by the Compensation Committee.

Target incentive compensation level for David D. Ossip, our Chief Executive Officer, was fixed at $800,000, or 114% of his current base salary.  Target incentive compensation levels for our two other NEOs as a percentage of base salary was: (1) 60% for Leagh Turner, President and Chief Operating Officer; and 80% for Paul D. Elliott, our former Chief Operating Officer.  Pursuant to Section 2.03 of that certain Separation and Consulting Agreement, dated August 7, 2018, among Mr. Elliott, the Company, and Ceridian Canada Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company (the “Consulting Agreement”), Mr. Elliott is entitled to receive 26.5% of his eligible 2019 MIP payment.

For fiscal 2019, the Company achieved 102.0% of its revenue goal at the target level and 101.4% of its adjusted EBITDA goal at the target level.  As a result, the participants in the 2019 MIP received cash payments under the 2019 MIP equal to 100% of the target payment, and the NEOs received the following cash payments:  Mr. Ossip, $800,000; Ms. Turner, $393,000; and Mr. Elliott, $125,972 CAD.  

In addition, on February 4, 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the granting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to participants in the 2019 MIP, including recommending that the Board approve granting RSUs to the NEOs.  On February 9, 2020 and as recommended by the Compensation Committee, the Board approved a new form of RSU award agreement and the granting of RSUs to the NEOs in the following amounts:  Mr. Ossip (3,129 RSUs) and Ms. Turner (1,538 RSUs).  As approved by the Board and the Compensation Committee, the RSU awards will be granted on February 28, 2020 pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and the RSU award agreement, will have a ten-year term, and will vest one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant.  A copy of the form of RSU award agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
