Edit Employee Supervisor Level

To edit an employees current supervisor level follow the same steps listed above to Set Employee Supervisor Level.  Make sure the effective date for the new assignment is after the effective and stop date for the current supervisor level.  If a stop date does not exist for the current supervisor level assignment, TimeStar will automatically put a stop date in place with the date one day prior to the effective date of the new supervisor level being assigned.

NOTE: The following message may appear “By changing the current supervisor level, you may invalidate existing supervisor assignments!  If you’d like to proceed, please save your changes and then review the updated supervisor assignments. The system will automatically disable any invalidated assignments for you.”  Invalid assignments would be any employee with a supervisor level less than or equal to the new supervisor level being assigned.

NOTE: Only supervisors with a supervisor level above the employee’s selected supervisor level and those who have user accounts established under System Setup >> User Security will appear in the list of available supervisors.
