A big part of HR’s tasks would be to cascade different kinds of information to employees. With the Announcement Module, HR Admin propagates information through Sprout HR, thus opening up one more channel for the Admins to use.
By default, users with Admin rights are the only ones enabled to use this feature (adding/posting, viewing and canceling posted Announcements), and only the users under the same client as the Admin should see the announcement posted by the latter.
As of now, announcements are posted as a banner but rest assured, we'll keep you posted once we have released more features!
How Will the Announcement Look Like as a Banner
For all employees under the same company as the Admin who posted the Announcement, upon logging in within the date and time range, they will see the banner like this:
When they click on the banner, they will see the full content of the announcement, which they can close anytime.
What Happens If I Have Multiple Announcements Scheduled on the Same Day?
For the display of overlapping Announcements, the priority will be based on the latest date created.
