An employee manager is a person who manages other people. An employee manager has direct reports.

The job code on an employee’s job record contains information that is used to identify an employee as a manager (a level of 38 or 39 or 40, 41 or 42, with an Exempt Status of 1, on the job code identifies the employee as a manager).

Only staff, and faculty in administrative appointments can be managers.

The job record of every staff and faculty member who has an administrative appointment (i.e., Dean) has a position number. Position numbers are not assigned to faculty unless they have an administrative appointment. 

Each position number is associated with a reports to position number.  

Position numbers are not assigned to casual employees. Affiliated casual employees report hours worked to a reviewer for validation. The employee number of the reviewer determines if the reviewer is a manager, based on the above rule. If the reviewer is not in a manager classified job, the incumbent in the position that the reviewer reports hours worked to is deemed to be the manager for time approval purposes.
