(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, a bona fide supervisory employee in a class which has its compensation fixed by salary range number, with the exception of all attorney classifications in the Office of the City Attorney, shall be paid at a rate at the appropriate step of the range with a first step rate equivalent to the second premium level rate above the first step rate of the subordinate class. For the purposes of this section, "bona fide supervisory employee" means a full-time, regularly assigned supervisor with full administrative and technical authority to assign, review and approve work of his or her subordinates. The rates to be compared in determining the supervision differential shall be the maximum salary rates of ranges prescribed for the authorized and allocated classes of the bona fide supervisor and the subordinate, excluding any premiums, bonuses, or working condition differentials. When comparing positions with five-step, 12-step, and 15-step salary ranges, the 5th, 12th, and 15th step, respectively, of said salary ranges shall be considered the top step of a salary range for purposes of this section. The Director of the Office of Administrative and Research Services shall investigate all employment situations described by this section and shall notify the Controller whenever a supervision differential shall be paid pursuant to this section.
(b) For purposes of this section, a bona fide supervisory employee shall not include the manager, assistant manager(s), executive officer, or chief assistant of any department, bureau, or office of the City. In those cases where the civil service class title of the chief assistant is not designative of the incumbent's assignment, the Director of the Office of Administrative and Research Services may consider working titles and organizational structure in determining whether an employee is a chief assistant.
(c) Effective June 29, 2014, a non-represented employee in a classification with its compensation fixed by salary range, who is a bona fide supervisor as described above, shall receive additional compensation in the amount of 2.75% above the top step of the highest paid subordinate who is in a classification with its compensation fixed by salary range, where the top step differential of the supervisor's salary range is less than 2.75% above the top step of the subordinate's salary range. When comparing positions with five-step and 15-step salary ranges, the 15th step of the 15-step salary range shall be considered the top step of the 15-step salary range for purposes of this section.
(d) Effective June 28, 2015, a non-represented employee in a classification with its compensation fixed by salary range, who is a bona fide supervisor as described above, shall receive additional compensation in the amount of 5.5% above the top step of the highest paid subordinate who is in a classification with its compensation fixed by salary range, where the top step differential of the supervisor's salary range is less than 5.5% above the top step of the subordinate's salary range. When comparing positions with five-step, 12-step, and 15-step salary ranges, the 5th, 12th, and 15th step, respectively, of said salary ranges shall be considered the top step of a salary range for purposes of this section.
