What the Administrative Supervisor family covers
Administrative Supervisor is a single-title family in the New Jersey civil service classification plan: one title code, with no numbered rungs above or below it. Every title in it is a state title, so the employer is a state department, commission or authority rather than a county or municipality.
Chief, director, manager and supervisor are not single jobs in New Jersey civil service. They are ranks applied across the whole of government, so a single family can hold hundreds of codes covering entirely unrelated bureaus. That structure matters for anyone reading the pay figures: two titles in the same family may share nothing except a level of responsibility. Most of these positions are managerial or unclassified, which means salaries are set individually rather than by stepping through a published ladder, and the managerial schedule itself has been frozen since 2007.
