Send Messages or Broadcasts

Messages are notes that you send in Message Center to employees or groups of employees. Recipients can reply to the sender of the message. Broadcasts are notifications that you send in Message Center to specific employees or groups of employees. Recipients can’t reply to broadcasts. Usually, broadcasts are used by managers or supervisors to send informational messages to their employees that don't need a personal response.

Depending on your role, you can send messages and broadcasts to your colleagues. Dayforce shows the message types that you can send in the Compose drop-down list:

In the screenshot above, the employee can send messages, broadcasts, and emergency broadcasts. If they could send only messages, Dayforce would show only the New Message option. When you select the type of message, Dayforce opens a blank message, broadcast, or emergency broadcast.
