(NASDAQ:JKHY), a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry, today announced that its Symitar^® division was recently named as one of the 2013 Best Places to Work in San Diego. The annual list of the Best Places to Work in San Diego was created by the San Diego Business Journal, Best Companies Group, and sponsored by Moss Adams LLP, Fisher & Phillips LLP, and Active Network.

This countywide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best places of employment in San Diego, benefiting the county's economy, workforce, and businesses. The 2013 Best Places to Work in San Diego list is made up of 100 companies. Symitar was number 10 on the Mega Company list.

Companies from across the county entered the two-part survey process to be considered for the Best Places to Work in San Diego. The first part of the survey process consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems, and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part of the survey consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
