Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Policy



 Exhibit 10.26 
 Amended and Restated 
 Change in Control Severance Policy 
 Effective as of December 31, 2008 
 The purpose
of this Change in Control Severance Policy is to ensure severance benefits to the classes of employees of Ceridian Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Ceridian”) described below should a
Change in Control (as defined below) occur on or before December 31, 2007. This Change in Control Severance Policy will go into effect as of the date the Change in Control occurs and be in effect through the two year period after the Change in
Control occurs. This Change in Control Severance Policy may not be rescinded or amended in a manner that is adverse to any employee (x) prior to December 31, 2007, or (y) if a Change of Control shall occur prior to such time, at any
time during the two year period following a Change of Control. During such time as this policy is in effect, each employee shall be entitled to the severance provided herein following the occurrence of a Change of Control Termination (as defined
below) within two years following a Change of Control. Unless otherwise indicated by specific designation of a non-U.S. employee, this Change in Control Severance Policy shall apply solely with respect to U.S. employees. For the avoidance of doubt,
a Change of Control occurred on November 9, 2007.

affected, (i) the failure by Ceridian to continue in effect, any bonus, incentive, stock ownership, purchase, option, life insurance, health, accident, disability, or any other employee compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement, in

	3.	termination of the business leader’s employment by Ceridian other than for the reasons described in 1.a), b), c) and d) above, but including 2. above, during the pendency of a
potential change of control and executive reasonably demonstrates that such termination was at the request or direction of a person or entity who has entered into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in a Change of Control, or is
otherwise in connection with or in anticipation of a Change of Control (whether or not a Change of Control ever occurs). For purposes of this policy, in the event of a termination described in the preceding sentence, a Change of Control will be
deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the termination of executive’s employment for purposes of this policy. 

 A Change of Control
Termination by executive shall not include termination by reason of death or disability.
