Only supervisors with a supervisor level above the employee’s selected supervisor level will appear in the available supervisors list.  For example, if an employee has a supervisor level listed as ‘Employee’, the supervisor of that employee will need to have a supervisor level of ‘Supervisor’ or higher.

To establish supervisor assignments, follow these steps:

• Only establish supervisor assignments after a supervisor group (Supervisor Level) is specified.  This can be assigned by going to Employee Maintenance > Supervisors > Supervisor Level Assignments.
• Select Employee Maintenance > Supervisors and select the Supervisor Assignments tab.
• Select the + in the Add New section of the page and select the supervisor you wish from the drop-down.
• Enter a different effective date if you wish (default is the first day of the current period).
• Click SAVE.

To change an employee’s supervisor group to a lower level (e.g., from supervisor to employee), follow these steps:

• Set an employee filter to those employees with a supervisor equal to the employee you will be updating.  See ‘Using Filters’ in the Overview section for more information on setting filters.
• Assign new supervisor(s) to the employees currently assigned to the supervisor via Employee Assignments> Supervisors or Global Update < Employee Update.
• Remove the employee filter and select the employee whose supervisor level you wish to update.
• Select Employee Maintenance > Supervisors > Supervisor Level Assignments.
• Select the lower assignment option under the Supervisor Group tab.  The following message will appear:

• Select OK.
• Click SAVE.
• The list of available supervisors for the employee will be changed as necessary and previous supervisor assignments to other employees will be removed.

To modify supervisor group assignments, select the Supervisor Level Assignments tab and the following screen will display:
