$\begingroup$ Can this be applied if there are more tasks than workers, and workers can be assigned multiple tasks? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @Felk, Yes. If you want to allow a worker to be assigned two tasks, imagine making two "clones" of that worker, each of who can be assigned a single task. Now each clone can be assigned a single task, and we're back to a problem that can be solved with the assignment problem. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Thank you very much, I was able to solve my problem sufficiently by implementing the hungarian algorithm and introducing small penalities on the worker clones to have it slightly prefer more distributed solutions. $\endgroup$
