Description
Supervise and coordinate overall program planning, script preparation, and production of a major segment of media programming. Coordinate the preparation of special and periodic reports on program planning, costs and production activities for review by upper management and assist in the development and implementation of goals of the broadcast media organization. Requires a bachelor's degree in related field or equivalent combination of education and experience in news broadcasting, announcing and production. 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. 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.
