In one implementation, the method may include receiving an indication of a payment transaction between a merchant and a user. Via a customer identification system, an employment profile of the user; may be determined.

  • Patent number: 11551168
    Abstract: In some examples, a service provider may determine from a shift schedule that a first employee is scheduled to work a particular shift at a business within a threshold period of time. The service provider may determine, based on a location of a first mobile device of the first employee, that the first employee is unlikely to arrive at the business in time for the start of the particular shift. In response, the service provider may find a replacement employee to fill the shift of the first employee. For instance, the service provider may send the communication to a second mobile device associated with a second employee that is determined to be within a threshold distance of the business. Alternatively, if the service provider determines that the business is overstaffed on a particular day, the service provider may offer a selected employee an incentive to depart work early.

  • Patent number: 10572844
    Abstract: In some examples, a service provider may associate, with an employer profile of an employer, a plurality of employee profiles of employees that are available to be assigned to one or more shifts of a plurality of shifts. The service provider may determine, based at least in part on shift information and the employee profiles, a shift schedule that indicates employee assignments for individual shifts. In some cases, in response to determining that a first shift is unfilled, the service provider may add to the shift schedule an incentive for one of the employees to select the first shift. Alternatively, in response to determining, based at least in part on the employee profiles, that multiple employees indicated a preference to work a second shift, the service provider may leave the second shift unassigned to enable the employees to bid on being assigned to work the second shift.
