Must the supervisor be a company employee?

First of all, answer directly.

The supervisor is a member of the company's board of supervisors. However, employees of the company may concurrently serve as directors or supervisors of the company. In fact, many workers' representatives, such as trade union leaders who are also supervisors, are also the requirements of regulating the operation of laws and regulations. It is also common for some investors who are directors to work in the company as employees. A supervisor is not an enterprise employee as long as he does not serve as a member of the board of directors or the board of supervisors of the company.

Second, analysis

Supervisors may attend board meetings as nonvoting delegates and raise questions or suggestions on matters resolved by the board. The board of supervisors and the supervisors of a company without a board of supervisors may conduct an investigation when they find that the company is operating abnormally. If necessary, an accounting firm can be hired to assist in the work, and the expenses shall be borne by the company. When the acts of directors and senior managers harm the interests of the company, they are required to correct them.
