Abstract: Computer-implemented data processing methods for electronically scheduling workers to unassigned shifts based on various criteria associated with the unassigned shifts. The system receives from a first business computer, a first set of scheduling data for unassigned work shifts that are available during a scheduling period, identifies one or more users that meet particular criteria associated with each one of the unassigned work shifts, provides notification to a first that a first plurality of the unassigned work shifts are available for assignment, displays the first plurality of unassigned work shifts to the first user, receives a first request to have one or more of the first plurality of unassigned work shifts assigned to the first user, and facilitates the assignment of at least one of the one or more of the first plurality of unassigned work shifts to the first user.
