Which is taller, the secretary of the board or the supervisor?

The secretary of the board of directors is a subsidiary of the board of directors. The supervisor is a member of the board of supervisors. In a company without a board of supervisors, the supervisor is the supervisory body of the company. There is no hierarchy between the two, but the driving power is different. If we insist on the level of the two, it should be that the level of supervisors is slightly higher than that of the secretary of the board of directors.

Legal analysis

There are many levels of supervisors. If appointed by a major shareholder, it is generally equivalent to the company's vice president level, but it has no actual power. There are also employee supervisors, that is, ordinary employees, and the Secretary-General belongs to senior executives, equivalent to vice presidents. The positions in state-owned enterprises are, from top to bottom, chairman, vice chairman, general manager, executive deputy general manager, deputy general manager, assistant general manager, middle-level chief (department manager), middle-level deputy (department manager), assistant manager, sponsor, officer and probationary employee. Individual enterprises will also set up a board of supervisors, which is led by the chairman of the board of supervisors and has supervision power but no management power. Among the central enterprises managed by SASAC, the chairmen, party secretaries and general managers of some enterprises are deputy ministerial officials appointed by the Central Organization Department. The deputy head is the director level, appointed by the SASAC. The other part of the cadres in charge is the director level, and together with the deputy leaders of the unit, they are appointed by the Second Enterprise Management Bureau of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. The party and government leaders of central enterprises are chairman, party secretary and general manager respectively, who are in charge of different tasks. The chairman is responsible for the appointment and removal of personnel, and the general manager is responsible for production and operation.
