SERIES CONCEPT


Linen Service Supervisors supervise Head Linen Service Workers, Linen
Service Workers, Laundry Machine Operators, Laundry Rotary Press Operators,
Sewing Room Workers, Drapery Makers and Truck Drivers in the performance of
duties in a laundry or related linen service unit; and perform other related
duties as required.

Incumbents typically hire, train, evaluate, promote, and discipline employees;
schedule, assign, and coordinate the work performed during an assigned  shift;
assist the Laundry/Linen Service Manager in planning, organizing, directing
and coordinating operations in a laundry; may act as a liaison between the
laundry and other departments or outside agencies; and may assume 
responsibility for the total operations of the laundry during one or more 
shifts in the absence of the Laundry/Linen Service Manager or Linen Service 
Manager.

Classes in the Linen Service Supervisor series are distinguished from classes
in the Laundry and Linen Service Manager and Linen Service Manager series in
that Linen Service Supervisors typically perform supervisory duties during one
or more assigned shifts. Laundry/Linen Service Managers and Linen Service
Managers are responsible for planning, organizing, directing and administering
the total operations of a laundry and linen service unit, respectively.

The Linen Service Supervisor series consists of two supervisory levels. Linen
Service Supervisor is the first operational level, and Senior Linen Service
Supervisor is the second operational level. The distinction between levels
is based on the number of employees supervised, the number of units in the
supervisory span of control, the degree of independence exercised in the
performance of supervisory functions, and the nature of management functions
performed in assisting the Laundry/Linen Service Manager or Linen Service
Manager.
