Job Description
Job Title: Supervisor
This is a Stratum II Position. This role in the organization is to make sure the work gets done.
Key Result Area 1 – Scheduling
Prescribed Duties: By Wednesday at 5:00p, post the team work schedule for the following week.
Time Span – 4 weeks. This task requires the supervisor to look ahead on a rolling 4 week basis, to anticipate changes due to team member vacations or other circumstances that will affect the team members attendance; and to look ahead on a rolling 4 week basis, to anticipate changes due to production fluctuations which may require a reduction in shift personnel or overtime. The supervisor will use discretionary judgment to create the schedule based on those circumstances. Overtime must be approved in writing by supervisor’s Manager.

“So, just posting the schedule on Wednesday isn’t the half of it,” Corina flatly stated. “I have always accepted that if the schedule got posted, the job was done. Now I am beginning to see that Supervisor effectiveness occurs way before Wednesday. Also, the boundary is very clear for discretionary judgment. Overtime requires approval.”

Corina thought for a minute.

“What about me?” she continued. “As a Manager, my job is different. How would discretionary judgment be stated on my job description?”
