The term "supervisor" means any individual having authority in the interest of an employer to hire, direct, assign, promote, reward, transfer, lay off, recall, suspend, discipline, or discharge other employees, or to adjust their grievances, or to effectively recommend such action if in connection with the foregoing the exercise of such authority is not merely routine or clerical in nature but calls for the consistent exercise of independent judgment; provided, the term "supervisor" shall include only those individuals who perform a preponderance of the above specified acts of authority on a day-to-day basis; and provided further, a supervisor’s administrative responsibilities must include demonstrated involvement in policy and budget formulation for the department.
