d.    Executive Level Supervisors

Executive level supervisors oversee the insured’s construction operations through second level (or higher) supervisors. In addition, on job sites where the insured subcontracts all operations to licensed subcontractors, executive level supervisors may oversee operations through subcontractors. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, it is not permissible to divide a single employee’s payroll, within a single policy period, between Classification 5606, Contractors – construction or erection – executive level supervisors, and any other classification.

Executive level supervisors over construction operations wherein the insured develops payroll in one or more construction or erection classifications shall be eligible for Classification 5606 provided not less than two levels of supervision, as defined below, are retained between the executive level supervisor and the workers performing the actual construction operations.

(1)  First level supervisors generally work at a job site with a single crew of workers performing a single trade and do not travel between concurrent job sites to supervise different crews. While first level supervisors may engage in construction activities alongside the crew, as supervisors they have the authority to direct and control the crew’s work. This control includes training, evaluating, and disciplining crewmembers. Employees who assist with training or leading a crew, but who do not have the authority to direct and discipline crewmembers, or are not accountable for the work performed by the crew, are not considered first level supervisors.

(2) Second level supervisors generally have broad authority over the work crews at one or more job sites. Second level supervisors direct and control the work of first level supervisors. The duties of second level supervisors are exclusively supervisory in nature.
