This form can and is often shortened as well, by conjugating the shortened causative form さす/す。This shortening always becomes あ＋～される. This really only works for godan verbs:

Words that create a ささ sound (Ichidan verbs and す ending verbs) cannot be shortened:
- 話さす→話さされる✖
- All ichidan verbs: さす→さされる✖
Examples:
- 廊下に立たされている – (someone) is being forced to stand in the hall.
- しゃざいを書かされた – Made to write an apology.
