This form, 〜さされる, is a shorter way to say 〜させられる. You use it mostly with Group 1 verbs. For Group 2 verbs, and the verbs する and 来る, you must use the longer form 〜させられる. For example, you say 食べさせられる, not 食べさされる.
Watch out: Do not mix up 〜さされる and 〜れる/られる. 〜さされる means someone made you do something. 〜れる/られる means something was done to you. For example, '待たされる' means 'to be made to wait'. '待たれる' means 'to be waited for'.
Don't use this when a verb ends with す. For example, don't say 話さされる. Say 話させられる instead.
