creating a first employment position business object, wherein the first employment position business object includes at least one attribute; and

associating an employee business object with the first employment position business object, wherein the employee business object inherits the at least one attribute in response to the association.

13 . The computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the at least one attribute includes a work schedule.

14 . The computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the computer instructions further comprise:

associating the employee business object with a second employment position business object.

15 . The computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the computer instructions further comprise:

in response to a lapse of a predetermined period of time after associating the employee business object with the second employment position business object, disassociating the employee business object from the second employment position business object; and

re-associating the employee business object with the first employment position business object.
