System and method for performing substitute fulfillment information complication and notification

Abstract

Disclosed is an Internet-based database system and method (ASP), that enables school districts and temporary employment agencies to automate the dispatching (24/7) of pre-qualified substitute/temporary personnel to specified school/work site locations for specific absent employees/job openings. The system includes a profile database of permanent and substitute (temporary) employees, positions, skills, working dates/shifts, rates of pay, work sites, lesson plans/comments, reasons for absence and corresponding budget codes. Approved substitute/temporary employees may access the database using a multi-level access and secure logon code through their Internet-based browser device. The software filters job/position information to match specific job openings to the skills, qualifications (certification), preferences and availability of the substitute/temporary employee/s. As job openings (absences) are entered into the system by employees, the school district or employment agency, job details are immediately available through Internet “distributed technology” to all appropriate substitute/temporary employees through their web browser device. Substitute/temporary employees may review, accept, or reject, each job opening. They may also change their availability, work preferences, preferred locations and electronic address, i.e. e-mail address/pager or other device. When a new job order is entered, requested substitutes are notified immediately. The system utilizes e-mail/e-page or other wireless browser devices to inform them that a current job position is available.

1 . An Internet based dispatching system comprising: 
 at least one database;    a security logon;    at least one filtering system for data in said database; and    web browser device access.    
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one inherent training system for users of said database.  
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein said at least one inherent training system is on-line through a web browser device.  
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said system of security logon provides access levels to information.  
     
     
         5 . The dispatching system of  claim 1 , wherein said database is employed to place at least one substitute teacher in at least one absent teacher position.  
     
     
         6 . The dispatching system of  claim 1 , wherein said database is employed to place at least one temporary employee in at least one temporary position.  
     
     
         7 . The dispatching system of  claim 5 , wherein said at least one substitute teacher is notified automatically, by said database, of an available job meeting qualifications of said at least one substitute teacher.  
     
     
         8 . The dispatching system of  claim 7 , wherein said automatic notification is via a web browser device.  
     
     
         9 . The dispatching system of  claim 7 , wherein said at least one substitute teacher is specifically requested and e-paged or emailed.  
     
     
         10 . The dispatching system of  claim 7 , wherein said database holds said available job for said at least one substitute teacher for a period of time, and releases said available job to other substitute teachers if no reply from said at least one substitute teacher is received by said database.  
     
     
         11 . The dispatching system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one filtering system uses fields of data to determine user notification priority.  
     
     
         12 . A method of activating an Internet database system, comprising: 
 managing software-based services and solutions to users across a wide area network from a central data center;    eliminating capitalization costs for users by employing a small user fee; and    dispatching said software-based services and solutions in real time.    
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said software-based services and solutions are lesson plans and job assignments.  
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein said software-based services and solutions are dispatched automatically to authorized users, eligible to accept said software-based services and solutions.  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said dispatching occurs according to data entered into a rapid entry system.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said managing software-based services and solutions employs electronic processing of filtered information from an Internet server database to all programmed client browsers.
