I'm currently aware of several units where they class all there staff between Project Manager and Site Assistant as Assistant Supervisors.
End result (at one unit in particular) is that you have an assistant supervisor running several large projects at once but being paid the lowest level for a supervisor.
The unit in question, however always informs the local government archaeologists that the people in question are Project Officers. Although in terms of experience they clearly are project officer level.
As far as I'm aware there have been promotions all pay rises among the staff since 2008. So AS definitely are up on them there.
The excuse as always is the current recession, despite a fairly healthy turnover of work.
