General Circular No. 001665

 

To:                   Heads of State Agencies and Human Resource Directors

 

Subject:            Deadline for 2005/06 Supervisory Training Compliance Report

 

Issue Date:       June 27, 2006

 

NOTE: Please make this General circular available to the person who is responsible for tracking training in your agency.

 

Each year, appointing authorities must report on their agency’s compliance with the Mandatory Supervisory Training requirements established under Civil Service Rule 7.4(f).  These reports are presented annually to the Civil Service Commission.

 

Due to training delays caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, on November 2, 2005, the Civil Service Commission approved a 6-month extension of training deadlines for employees in Supervisory Groups 1 and 2 whose training deadlines fell on or after August 27, 2005.   Training deadlines for employees in Supervisory Group 3 had already been extended for three years to June 30, 2008 pending development of one of the required classes. 

 

In light of these training deadline extensions, we are postponing this year’s reporting deadline from September 30, 2006 to January 31, 2007.  At that time, you will be asked to report on training completed by your employees from July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006.  Please continue to maintain your training records in a fashion that will enable you to report your rate of compliance for this period.  We will issue a reminder of this reporting requirement in December. 

 

Please note that extension of training deadlines does not eliminate training requirements.  Agencies must continue to schedule employees in the required classes.    The list of mandatory classes and other related information may be found on the Civil Service website at www.civilservice.louisiana.gov under “Training.”

 

Questions regarding this General Circular may be directed to Dwuena Wyre, Assistant Division Administrator for Training, at 225-342-8084 or at Dwuena.wyre@la.gov.

 

Sincerely,
