Supervisor

A supervisor in the Human Resource application is a code that identifies those positions in the company with supervisory responsibilities. You define a supervisor code for each supervisory role. In addition, you assign an employee to the code.

Once you define the supervisor code and assign an employee to the code, you attach the supervisor code to each employee who reports to the supervisor. In order to develop a reporting hierarchy to use for listings, you also indicate who is the supervisor's manager. Once you define the supervisor code, you can include direct and indirect supervisors. You define direct and indirect supervisors in the Personnel Administration application.

When an employee who is assigned to a supervisor code changes to another position, you select a new employee for that supervisor position. The new employee's name then appears on all the employees' records that are associated with the supervisor code.
