[QUOTE="SupraFast, post: 547928"] Supervisors can work in the following conditions from my understanding: 1. Employee goes to the bathroom and nobody is available to cover. 2. Too many employees have no call no shows and not enough employees to cover. 3. To clear egress situations. 4. To train an employee. 5. An employee leaves the work area without notifying a supervisor and there is nobody available to cover. I am a part-time supervisor in a sort isle. The typical situations where I find myself working are when an employee has to use the bathroom and when there are boxes on the floor in the sort isle. I usually have a PF sorter (PF is the name of the recycle belts that come from a boxline). This sorter is the extra guy I have in the sort isle that runs the recycle belts, scans the packages without labels with the ispa, and does tape ups. I would usually have him cover a guy who needs to use the bathroom. Sometimes he's not available to use. For example, if a package car backs up and he's my extra guy to sort that bay. If he's already covering someone who is in the bathroom and someone else needs to go to the bathroom. If the recycle belts are really heavy and he needs to sit on them. What I find myself doing during the day with respect to working is just clearing up egress. I will pick boxes up off the floor and put them back on the belt for the sorters to sort, or move them to one side of the sort isle, or just sort the boxes myself off the floor that have labels. It really just depends on the egress situation. If it's blocking a stairwell, I will never hesitate to move the box away through any means necessary. I take egress seriously. I too want to work in a safe as can be work environment. I don't want to have to climb over boxes and etc. So yes, I'm going to take the liberty to clear boxes off the floor and from the stairwell.
