Service Providers (SPs) enter on a Broker Website a profile of their services, workdays, and Daily Labor Rates (DLRs). Users access the Website, and enter services they require, and when. The Website displays the identities, profiles, and DLRs of SPs who can do the required work during the User's time window. SPs set DLRs, directly or via criteria by which the Website calculates them, including by applying a Discount for Days Out from the present day. The User selects a SP and requests a booking for a date, locking in the DLR, if accepted. Once the work is completed, the SP bills the User, and is paid, through the Broker Website. The invention also allows an individual to use an enabled mobile communication device to show his presence at a particular time and place, including to establish his presence at the agreed time and place for performance of Brokered services.
