System and method for performing substitute fulfillment

Abstract

A system and method for automating the performance of substitute fulfillment. The system includes a server which receives absentee information representing an absent worker via a telephone communication link or an Internet communication link. In response to receiving the absentee information, the system generates a list of potential substitute workers. The system then contacts potential substitute workers until one is found or until the list is exhausted. The system can also post a list of positions that are available on a website allowing potential substitute workers to search for a position.

1 . A method for performing position fulfillment on one or more computers, comprising:
 generating electronically a list of one or more positions for which a worker is qualified that need to be filled;   posting on a webpage associated with the worker or transmitting to an electronic appliance associated with the worker, the list of one or more positions that need to be filled;   receiving electronically a response by a worker accepting one of the one or more positions; and   securing, in response to the receiving the response accepting step, the position for the worker who accepted the position.
