§ 4-5-102. SUPERVISORY, MANAGEMENT, AND CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES.

(a)

Management employee. An employee may be deemed a management employee if the employee's exercise of the functions listed in § 4-5-101(i) of this subtitle requires the exercise of independent judgment and is not of a routine, clerical, or ministerial nature.

(b)

Supervisory employee.

(1)

(i)

An employee who may effectively recommend any or all of the actions listed in § 4-5-101(l) of this subtitle may be deemed a supervisory employee if the employee's exercise of the authority requires the exercise of independent judgment and is not merely of a routine or clerical nature.

(ii)

The exercise of any single function listed in § 4-5-101(l) of this subtitle may not necessarily require the conclusion that the individual exercising that function is in fact a supervisory employee within the meaning of the definition.

(2)

(i)

In differentiating a supervisory employee from nonsupervisory employees, class titles alone may not be the basis for determination.

(ii)

The nature of the work, including whether or not a major portion of the working time of a supervisory employee is spent as part of a crew or team with nonsupervisory employees, shall also be considered.

(c)

Authority to meet with the county administration. Nothing in this act may be construed to preclude supervisory, management, and confidential employees from meeting and conferring with the county administration.
