Consider A Career In State Civil Service

We are working hard to become your “Employer of Choice”.  These are just some of the many benefits of working for the LARGEST employer in the State of Louisiana. 

Insurance Coverage

The State of Louisiana pays a generous portion of the cost for group health and life insurance.  Employees can choose one of several health insurance programs ranging from an HMO or PPO to the State’s own Group Benefits insurance program.

Retirement

You may have heard that one of the biggest benefits of working for the State of Louisiana is our excellent retirement program.  The State contributes to your retirement fund along with you. To learn more, visit the website of the Louisiana State Employees’ Retirement System (LASERS) at www.lasersonline.org.

Paid Holidays And Leave

There are at least 9 paid state holidays each year.  State employees earn sick and annual leave which can be accumulated and saved for future use.  Your accrual rate increases as your years of service increase! 

As a new State employee, you will earn 12 days of both sick and annual leave a year! 

Flexible Working Arrangements

The flexibility of our system allows agencies to implement flexible working arrangements through the use of alternate work schedules, telecommuting, and other flexibilities. These arrangements vary between agencies.

Deferred Compensation

As a supplemental retirement savings plan for employees, the State offers a Deferred Compensation Plan for tax deferred savings. More information on Louisiana's Deferred Compensation Program can be found here.
