*’supervisor’ is the ‘job title’ of a ‘low-level management position’ that is primarily based on ‘authority’ over a ‘worker’ (or ‘charge’ of a ‘workplace’)*
.
(a ‘supervisor’ can also be one of the most senior in the staff at the place of work, such as a ‘professor’ who oversees a ‘PhD dissertation’)
(supervision, on the other hand, can be performed by people without this formal title, for example by parents)
(the term “supervisor” itself can be used to refer to any personnel who have this task as part of their job description)
(an employee is a supervisor if he has the power and authority to do the following actions (according to the “Ontario Ministry of Labour”):
“give instructions and/or orders to subordinates”
“be held responsible for the work and actions of other employees”
(if an employee cannot do the above, legally, he or she is probably not a supervisor, but in some other category, such as a “work group leader” or “lead hand”)
(a “supervisor” is first and foremost an “overseer” whose main responsibility is to ensure that a group of “subordinates” get out the assigned amount of production, when they are supposed to do it and within acceptable levels of ‘quality’, ‘costs’, and ‘safety’)
(a ‘supervisor’ is responsible for the productivity and actions of a small group of ’employees’)
(the supervisor has several manager-like ‘roles’, ‘responsibilities’, and ‘powers’)
(2 of the key differences between a ‘supervisor’ and a ‘manager’ are (1) the supervisor does not typically have “hire and fire” authority, and (2) the supervisor does not have budget authority)
(lacking “hire and fire” authority means that a supervisor may not recruit the employees working in the supervisor’s group nor does the supervisor have the authority to terminate an employee)
(the supervisor may participate in the hiring process as part of interviewing and assessing candidates, but the actual hiring authority rests in the hands of a “Human Resource Manager”)
(the supervisor may recommend to management that a particular employee be terminated and the supervisor may be the one who documents the behaviors leading to the recommendation but the actual firing authority rests in the hands of a manager)
(lacking budget authority means that a supervisor is provided a budget developed by management within which constraints the supervisor is expected to provide a productive environment for the employees of the supervisor’s work group)
(a supervisor will usually have the authority to make purchases within specified limits)
(a supervisor is also given the power to approve work hours and other payroll issues)
(normally, budget affecting requests such as travel will require not only the supervisor’s approval but the approval of one or more layers of management)
.
(as a member of ‘management’, a supervisor’s main job is more concerned with orchestrating and controlling work rather than performing it directly)
