Supervisors of employees with multiple positions

Looking to see how others handle the situation when an employee is in a split position and had a different supervisor for each position. Currently we say EEs can only have 1 supervisor and it is attached to their primary position and visible on HR11. On PA13.1 for their Position Level 2/3/4 etc we used a ghost supervisor 99999 with the name of "See Position Level 1". The question has been raised as to "Why don't we populate the correct supervisor on PA13.1?", and in all honesty I don't know the answer to that question. Wondering if there are repercussions or a domino effect of using the correct supervisor on each PA13 position.

We have always used the "correct" supervisor for each position level. Our original set up was to default the supervisor from the position code so it happened automatically happened as part of the work assignment. However, we have since abandoned supervisor defaulting so now it comes from the work assignment but is set individually by each position level. Only the primary supervisor has access to the employee via Manager Self-Service (when we used it...we are now in LTM Manager Space), but that was the only repercussion we experienced.

We use the actual supervisor for each position level. We use Access for most of our reporting and are able to provide each supervisor with the information he/she needs when the data on the report applies to specific positions.

The only issue we have is that the supervisors for the other positions do not have access to the employees record through Manager Self-Service. The have to submit employee information changes on paper and HRIS keys it into Lawson.
