If not the immediate supervisor for a Blue Team Employee, where should you forward?

• A. to employees supervisor
• B. to HR
• C. Direct to the employee
• D. To Chief

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is following the established chain of command for routing information about an employee. If you’re not the immediate supervisor, the proper path is to forward to the employee’s supervisor because that manager is the designated point of contact responsible for the employee’s day-to-day oversight, accountability, and communication. This keeps information flowing to the right level so the supervisor can handle, escalate, or coordinate with HR if needed, without bypassing the chain.

Sending to HR is more about personnel policies and administrative processes, not routine forwarding of information about a specific employee’s work. Directly to the employee bypasses the supervisor, which can create confusion and disrupt supervision. Forwarding to the Chief skips multiple levels of management and isn’t appropriate for standard routing.
