A Supervisor position is typically the first step towards being promoted into a management role.Supervisor, foreman, foreperson, team leader, overseer, cell coach, facilitator and area coordinator are all different names for the supervisor function. The US Bureau of Census has four hundred titles under the supervisor classification.An employee is a supervisor if they have 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.Administer discipline and penalties. If an employee cannot do all of the above, legally he is probably not a supervisor, but in some other category, such as lead hand.
