How do I create an announcement in Tazk Payroll?
In the Announcement Center, click New Announcement. Under Audience & Timing choose the departments, locations and employees, leave Publish On blank to publish now or pick a date, and set the Duration (1–90 days). Under Announcement enter the title, type and message, then click Publish Announcement. Employees see it in Message → Announcements and on the dashboard until it expires.

How do I choose who receives it and when?
