Why not suggest that they use one of the existing groupware sites?/
http://www.hyperoffice.com/
http://www1.visto.com/
http://calendar.yahoo.com/
http://groups.yahoo.com/

(and doubtless countless others)

I don't currently use any of these, but the Hyperoffice and Visto sites let 
you set up password-protected areas where you can share calendars and 
such... the eGroups site used to; I don't know if Yahoo has retained that 
functionality.

If you don't need anything that complex, a simple text file for each member 
could be uploaded to a directory folder by the central office, and checked 
each morning by the employee... or emailed to them...
