Eiki's superiors are firmly established as the ten Yama Kings who reign over the Ministry of Right and Wrong, and while not being shown directly, they're all given names in PMiSS, too, and people who want to use them just draw them as typical big yama dudes.
Meanwhile, Eiki mentions in VFiSb that she has never actually met Hecatia, and only heard of her and how she's supposedly not all that evil, while Hecatia explains the Ministry in AFiEU as basically being a bunch of people who moved into hell and formed an organisation (highly unusual for hell) and tells everyone they're doing it wrong and that they should be rehabilitating sinners or some shit. They're simply not involved with each other at all, and presenting Hecatia as Eiki's boss is even less representative of canon than making Aya Momiji's superior.

Eiki's not a big deal at all. She's just a standard-issue yama, a lesser judge working under the Ten Kings, who are explicitly stated to be at the top of the Ministry of Right and Wrong.
And since Hecatia is a big shot, even if she's not Eiki's boss, and Eiki is a very polite and proper woman, she'd naturally refer to Hecatia in a very respectful manner.

Besides, "Hell" really cannot be considered to be an organization. Hecatia explains in no uncertain terms that hell is a place that's highly individualistic and most just do as they please without taking heed of others, and that the yama and the kishin forming a proper organization is highly unusual and rubbed a lot of hell's dwellers the wrong way, though she herself doesn't mind them. The most that can be said about Hecatia is that she doesn't involve herself with the Ministry, she just regards them as a quirky neighbor.

Hecatia has zero influence over the Yama Kings and their organization and they didn't appoint her as anything. Hecatia is simply a very powerful figure who lived in (modern) Hell since before the Yama Kings moved there. Hell's a rather big place with a lot of different people, each with their own views. Hecatia notes that there are quite a few inhabitants of Hell that don't really like the Yama and their ideas of what hell should be like, for instance, though she personally doesn't mind them, as she views that the freedom to establish a largely ordered society is also something allowed in her views on freedom, provided they have the strength to enforce it, obviously.
Eiki treating her with respect is more about diplomacy than anything. Hecatia is basically the queen of a foreign nation, one that isn't hostile to her and her organization, and Eiki wouldn't gain anything from antagonizing her.

The Yama Kings have assembled and have formally declared that everything Eiki does is completely acceptable and doesn't violate any of the Ministry's laws.
Anon is hereby sentenced to super ultra hell for falsely accusing this highly respected Yama.
