Announcements let you broadcast a message across PayPunch — a maintenance notice, a policy change, or a payroll-deadline reminder. You choose who sees it, how urgent it looks, and when it publishes and expires.
Announcements

​
The Announcements page

Open Announcements from the sidebar. Cards summarize Total, Active, Scheduled, and Expired/Inactive announcements. The table lists each announcement’s Title, Priority, Audience, Status, Publish Date, and Expires date. Use the search box to find one by title or message.

​
Create an announcement

1

Open the dialog

Click Create Announcement.
2

Write the message

Enter a Title and Message (both required).
3

Set priority and audience

Choose a Priority — Info (Blue), Warning (Amber), or Critical (Red) — and a Target Audience — Everyone, Companies Only, or Employees Only. Optionally scope it to a Specific Company.
4

Add an optional action and schedule

Optionally add an Action URL and Action Label (a button on the banner), then set Publish At and an optional Expires At.
5

Create

Click Create Announcement.
Leave Specific Company empty to show the announcement to everyone in the target audience. Set it to scope the message to a single client.

​
Edit or delete

Use the Edit and Delete actions on any row. Editing opens the same fields (Save Changes); deleting asks for confirmation and can’t be undone.

​
Statuses

An announcement is Active, Scheduled (publish date in the future), Inactive, or Expired (past its expiry). Active announcements appear as a banner to their target audience.
Creating, editing, and deleting announcements require the ADMIN or SUPER_ADMIN role — read-only (VIEWER) users can’t manage them.
