Using Message Center Notifications

This utility allows you to send notifications that employees access through the Message Center in ExponentHR. You can choose to send the notification to the employee's work e-mail address, as well. These notices can be set up as a one-time message or as a recurring message sent to the same recipient lists or to any new employees that have not yet received the message.  You can also choose to require acknowledgement of the notification and generate a report of those who have acknowledged it.
