Production/Processing Intermediate Team Leader

Description

Coordinates, monitors, and supervises the activities of the Team ensuring individual member goals are achieved in support of assigned Team goals. Interprets and communicates overall organizational directives and applies them to Team and individual objectives. Acting as liaison, represents the Team in general interfacing with the rest of the organization. May provide input to management regarding individual team member performance. This is a permanent, dedicated job. The incumbent's primary responsibility is to execute the functions of Team Leader. NOTE: A Team is defined as a small, formal, self-directed work group created to achieve specific, predetermined goals with functional, departmental or project responsibility in support of the organization's overall mission. The Team/Small Group responsibilities may be ongoing or short-term in nature and the members may or may not be from the same department or function. This is the first level of full supervision. Employees in this classification supervise three or more full-time equivalent employees every week. Direction is over a permanent status-continuing function, not a collection of employees assigned to complete a project. Management duties include interviewing, selecting and training of employees; setting and adjusting their rates of pay and hours of work; planning and directing their work; appraising their productivity and efficiency for the purpose of recommending promotions or other changes in their status; handling their complaints and grievances and disciplining them when necessary. Management responsibilities include the authority to hire, fire, or promote assigned employees or make recommendations that are given particular weight. Employees may spend time performing many of the same duties as subordinate employees. Generally, the subordinate group performs a single task or multiple, but closely related tasks. Under FLSA, this is the exempt job classification for this title. Incumbents in this position must meet the full criteria for exempt status: salary level, salary basis, and duties tests.
