LA Rev Stat § 33:2402 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2402. Classification plan

RS 2402 - Classification plan  The director, as soon as practicable after this Part takes effect in the city, shall cause to be prepared a classification plan which shall consist of classes, designated by standard titles, designed to provide for all positions in the classified service. He shall from time to time review the duties and responsibilities of the positions in the classified service and may add, combine, divide, or abolish classes, or revise the titles of existing classes. The classification plan so provided and any changes therein shall become effective when adopted hereunder as rules or amendments to rules. The director, subject to the rules, shall provide, and may amend from time to time, a written definition for each class, describing the nature of the duties and responsibilities characteristic of positions properly pertaining to the class, with illustrative examples where desirable, and setting forth the minimum qualifications requisite for entrance to positions of the class, together with the principal and natural lines of promotion. The definitions shall be descriptive only, and not restrictive. They shall be construed merely as defining the several classes, and not as prescribing what the duties or qualification requirements of any position shall be, or as limiting the right of any employee to compete for promotion.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2403 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2403. Allocation of positions to classes

RS 2403 - Allocation of positions to classes  The director, as soon as practicable after the adoption of a classification plan and, after consultation with the appointing authorities concerned, shall allocate each position in the classified service to its appropriate class, and thereafter shall allocate each new position in the service to its appropriate class, and may reallocate positions from class to class. In making the allocations he shall provide for uniform application of the classification plan to positions under different appointing authorities. Whenever the duties of a position are so changed that the position in effect becomes one of a different class from that to which it is allocated, the change shall operate to abolish the position and to create a new position of the different class. Any employee affected by the allocation or reallocation of the position occupied by him at any time shall, upon his request, be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard thereon.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2404 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2404. Use of class titles

RS 2404 - Use of class titles  The title of each class shall be the official title of every position allocated to the class, for all purposes having to do with the position as such, and shall be used to the exclusion of all others on all payrolls, budget estimates, and official records and reports pertaining to the position. However, any abbreviation or code symbol approved by the director may be used to designate a position of a class, and any other title satisfactory to the appointing authority may be used in official correspondence and in any other connection not having to do with the personnel processes covered by this Part. No employee shall be appointed, employed, or paid under any title other than that of the class to which the position occupied by him is allocated.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2405 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2405. Status of incumbent of position when allocated

RS 2405 - Status of incumbent of position when allocated When any position is first allocated hereunder, or is reallocated to a different class to correct an error in its previous allocation, the employee in the position may continue to serve therein, with the status and all the rights and privileges he would have had under this Part if he had been originally appointed by competitive examination and certification hereunder to a position of the class to which the position has been allocated or reallocated, but the employee may be transferred or promoted without further tests of fitness or certification, to any position of the class to which the position previously was allocated while held by him, or his name may be placed on the reemployment list for the class.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2407 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2407. Methods of filling vacancies in the classified service

RS 2407 - Methods of filling vacancies in the classified service  Vacancies in positions in the classified service may be filled by demotion, transfer, reinstatement, reemployment, promotion, original appointment, or temporary appointment. Preference shall be given to the methods named in the order in which they are named in this section, under the conditions and subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in the rules. A vacancy shall be considered filled under any of the methods specified, and employment thereunder effective, as of the date on which the employee enters on the duties of the position.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2408 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2408. Transfer

RS 2408 - Transfer  An employee may be transferred from any position in the classified service to any other position of the same class, or of any other class for which no additional or different qualifications are prescribed for original entrance, on recommendation of the appointing authority and approval of such transfer by the director, but no employee shall be transferred from a position in one organization unit to a position in another organization unit without the consent of the appointing authorities of both units concerned, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Part. The director shall continuously and actively interest himself in the possibilities for providing for improvement and economy in the service by means of transfers to effect adjustment of unsatisfactory conditions of employment and to meet variations in the work requirements of different organization units. No employee shall be transferred from a position in one class to a position in another class of a higher rank or for which there are substantially dissimilar requirements for appointment unless he is appointed to the latter position after certification of his name from a list. Any change of any employee from a position in one class to a position in a class of a lower rank shall be considered a demotion and shall be made only in accordance with the procedure prescribed by R.S. 33:2423. An employee thus demoted may appeal to the commission under R.S. 33:2424.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2410 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2410. Establishment of promotion lists and employment lists

RS 2410 - Establishment of promotion lists and employment lists  The director shall, subject to the rules, establish and maintain promotion lists and employment lists for the various classes of positions in the classified service which are necessary or desirable to meet the needs of the service. On each promotion list and employment list, the eligibles shall be ranked in the order of their ratings earned in the test given for the purpose of establishing the list, subject, however, to subsequent revision by the director in accordance with R.S. 33:2418. The director shall, subject to the rules, determine at the time any promotion list or employment list is established, the period during which the list shall remain in force, which shall be not less than six months nor more than three years. The director may extend the period by order made before the expiration of the list, but no list shall be extended to a time more than three years from the original establishment thereof, and a statement of the reasons for any extension shall be entered in the records of the department. The director may consolidate or cancel promotion lists and employment lists as the needs of the service require and as authorized by the rules. Unless otherwise provided in the rules a promotion list or employment list which has been in force for six months or more shall be deemed cancelled upon the establishment of a new promotion list or employment list, for the same class of positions.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2411 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2411. Nature of tests; eligibility for tests; adaptation for candidates with disabilities

RS 2411 - Nature of tests; eligibility for tests; adaptation for candidates with disabilities A. Tests of fitness for original entrance and for promotion shall be competitive, and open to all citizens who, if over eighteen years of age, are qualified voters of the city and who meet the prerequisites established for admission to the tests as specified in the rules or in the public notices of the tests. The prerequisites may relate to age, sex, residence, health, habits, physical characteristics, experience, moral character, training, education, and other qualifications, and, in the case of promotion tests, to service in positions of classes for which lower maximum pay is prescribed involving experience tending to qualify for positions of the classes sought. Whenever, after diligent effort, it has been found impracticable to obtain a sufficient number of eligibles who are citizens and, if over eighteen years of age, are qualified voters of the city, for positions of any class, persons otherwise qualified who are not citizens may be admitted to the tests and may become eligible for appointment and be appointed to such positions subject to all other provisions of this Part. The tests for positions of each class shall be practical in their character and, so far as possible, shall relate to those matters which will fairly test the relative capacity and fitness of the candidates to discharge the duties of characteristic positions of the class to which they seek to be appointed with due reference also to ability to develop in such ways as to merit advancement to positions of higher classes. The tests may include written or oral questions, trials in the performance of work characteristic of the class, inquiries into facts relating to education or experience or accomplishments, and investigations of the records and success attained and of personal characteristics, or any combination of these and other elements duly related to the purposes of the tests. Promotion tests shall be based on the same standards of required qualifications as original entrance tests for the same classes, and the same degrees of excellence in the tests shall be required for eligibility. No question shall be so framed as to elicit information concerning the political, factional, or religious opinions or affiliations of an applicant. B. Unless such skills are a bona fide occupational qualification of the position for which application is made, testing procedures shall be adapted for administration to candidates with disabilities that impair sensory, manual, or speaking skills. Public notice shall be given of the availability of these testing procedures. Amended by Acts 1978, No. 213, §1; Acts 2014, No. 811, §17, eff. June 23, 2014.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2412 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2412. Admission to tests

RS 2412 - Admission to tests  The director shall, subject to the rules, determine the qualifications for admission to any test. Subject to limitations as to age and other requirements and qualifications fixed by the rules in the interests of the service, admission to tests shall be open to all persons who possess the required qualifications and may be lawfully appointed to a position in the class for which a list is to be established. The director, subject to the rules, may reject the application of any person for admission to tests of fitness or refuse to test any applicant, or may cancel the eligibility of any eligible on any employment list, who is found to lack any of the qualifications prescribed as requirements for admission to the tests for the class for which he has applied, or who is physically unfit to perform effectively the duties of a position of the class, or who is addicted to the habitual use of drugs or intoxicating liquors to excess, or who has been adjudged guilty of a crime involving moral turpitude or infamous or notoriously disgraceful conduct, or who has been dismissed from the public service for delinquency or misconduct, or who has made a false statement of any material fact or has practiced or attempted to practice deception or fraud in his application or in his tests or otherwise in securing eligibility for appointment or attempting so to do. Any such facts shall also be considered cause for removal of any employee. The director shall reject any application filed after the time fixed for closing receipt of applications as announced in the public notice of the tests, or after a specified number of applications, announced in the public notice of the tests, has been received. The provisions and requirements of this Section and R.S. 33:2407, 33:2410, 33:2411, and 33:2413 as to methods of filling vacancies, establishment of promotional lists and employment lists, eligibility and original entrance competitive tests and admission to tests may be waived or dispensed with by the commission in its discretion in whole or in part in case of original appointment for unskilled labor, including custodial workers, attendants, street cleaners, garbage workers, janitors, food service workers, porters, and other unskilled workers. Such laborers and workers may be selected and appointed by the appointing authority under such conditions and in accordance with such rules and regulations as the commission may from time to time adopt. Any public employees described in this paragraph, when once duly appointed by the appointing authority in accordance with the rules adopted by the commission, shall be regular employees in the classified service.

RS 2413 - Simplified form of tests  In every instance where this Part requires that a position be filled by competitive examination, the examination or tests which are given shall be truly competitive in character. No provision to fill the position by a non-competitive examination shall be deemed to be in effect under the provisions of this Part. But the director, subject to the rules, may provide for simplified types of competitive tests, and of procedures for rating their results, and for establishment of employment lists and certification there under his supervision, by designated representatives on the staffs of local establishments or otherwise, in the cases of any classes for which such action seems desirable.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2414 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2414. Public notice of tests

RS 2414 - Public notice of tests  The director shall give public notice of each entrance test at least two weeks in advance of the test by posting a notice thereof on the bulletin board maintained in or near the office of the department and by publishing a brief abstract of the notice in the official journal of the city. He shall give public notice of each promotion test at least two weeks in advance of the test by posting a notice thereof on such bulletin board and in such other manner as he considers appropriate to furnish information thereof to employees who are eligible for admission to the test. Each official notice of a test shall state the duties and pay of positions in the class for which the test is to be held, the qualifications required therefor, the time, place and manner of making application for admission to the test, the estimated number of vacancies to be filled, and any other information which the director considers pertinent and useful. The director may also advertise tests in professional and trade publications, post notices thereof in schools and colleges, and employ any other methods of publicizing tests which he considers appropriate. He may publish a periodic bulletin containing information about all tests to be sent to subscribers at a price approximately the cost of the publication.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2415 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2415. Results of tests

RS 2415 - Results of tests  The rating of each test shall be completed and the resulting list established not later than ninety days after the date on which the test was held, unless the time is extended by the director for reasons which he shall record in the official records of the department. Each person competing in any test shall be given written notice of his final earned rating and of his relative standing on the list, or of his failure to attain a place on the list. Each person competing in a test shall, in accordance with regulations adopted by the commission, be entitled to inspect his ratings and test papers. A manifest error in rating a test shall be corrected if called to the attention of the director within one month after the establishment of the list, but such correction shall not invalidate any appointment previously made from such a list. From the results of the tests for any class, the director shall cause to be prepared an employment list for the class, with the names of those persons who have met the minimum requirements imposed for each test and who have received at least the average rating required for eligibility, placed thereon in the order of such average ratings, from the highest to the lowest. Separate lists shall be established of eligibles resulting from tests for original entrance and those from tests for promotion.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2417 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2417. Working tests

RS 2417 - Working tests  Every person appointed to a position in the classified service after certification of his name from an original entrance employment list or a promotion list shall be tested by a working test while occupying the position. The period of the working test shall commence immediately upon appointment and shall continue for the time, not less than six months nor more than one year, established by the director subject to the rules. At the times during the working test period and in the manner which the director requires, the appointing authority shall report to the director his observation of the employee's work, and his judgment as to the employee's willingness and ability to perform his duties satisfactorily, and as to his habits and dependability. At any time during his working test period, after the first two months thereof, the appointing authority may remove an employee if, in the opinion of the appointing authority, the working test indicates that (1) the employee is unable or unwilling to perform his duties satisfactorily or (2) his habits and dependability do not merit his continuance in the service. Upon the removal, the appointing authority shall forthwith report to the director and to the employee removed his action and the reason therefor. No more than three employees shall be removed successively from the same position during their working test periods without the approval of the director. The appointing authority may remove an employee within the first two months of his working test period only with the approval of the director. The director may remove an employee during his working test period if he finds, after giving him notice and an opportunity to be heard, that the employee was appointed as a result of fraud or error. Ten days prior to the expiration of an employee's working test period, the appointing authority shall notify the director in writing whether the services of the employee have been satisfactory and whether he will continue the employee in his position. A copy of the notice shall be given to the employee ten days prior to the expiration of his working test period. Upon approval by the director of a favorable report, the appointment of the employee shall be complete at the expiration of the working test period. Failure by an appointing authority to give the ten days' notice to the director and a copy thereof to the employee shall have the same force and effect as a satisfactory report. If any employee is removed from his position during or at the end of his working test period, and the director determines that he is suitable for appointment to another position, his name may be restored to the list from which it was certified. If the employee was a regular employee in another position in the classified service immediately prior to his appointment, his name may be placed on the reemployment list for the class of the position in which he was a regular employee.
LA Rev Stat § 33:2420 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 33 - Municipalities and Parishes|§2420. Hours of work, holidays, attendance, and leave

RS 2420 - Hours of work, holidays, attendance, and leave The rules shall provide for the hours of work, vacations, holidays, attendance regulations, and leaves of absence in the various classes of positions in the classified service. They shall contain provisions for annual, sick, and special leaves of absence with or without pay or with reduced pay, and may allow special extended leaves for employees disabled through injury or illness arising out of their employment, and the accumulation of annual and sick leaves. They shall contain provisions for leaves of absence for women for a reasonable time prior to and after childbirth. When an employee is transferred by mutual consent, or by virtue of a promotion, from a position under one organization unit to a position under another, the value of any unused annual leave earned by him shall be computed and payment for it shall be made by the organization unit under whose employment the annual leave was earned to the organization unit to which the employee is transferred. The organization unit to which the employee is transferred shall credit the employee with the number of days annual leave for which it has received payment. Funds transferred by one organization unit to another organization unit in payment of accumulated annual leave shall be available to the receiving organization unit for payroll purposes over and above any funds appropriated to the organization unit. The rules shall contain provisions relating to the payment to an employee of accrued annual leave when an employee's services with the city are terminated under conditions which make, in accordance with the rules, the employee eligible for payment of accrued annual leave. When an employee is transferred from a position under one appointing authority to a position under another, his accumulated unused sick leave shall be transferred with him.
