Interpreter Services Supervisor

Description

Provides direct supervision of staff and trainees insuring that Interpreter Services remains operational in accordance with laws, rules and regulations set by the State and the Institution. Responsible for setting work priorities, delegating work assignments, coordinating interpreters and serving as a resource to them, providing technical leadership and training, taking the lead on projects and programs within Interpreter Services and representing the department across the institution. 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.
