Subject: Listing Of Unclassified Personnel

Issue Date: July 26, 1994

We are enclosing herewith a listing of Unclassified employees of your agency as indicated by records in this office during the last quarter.

Your agency is required under Revised Statutes 42:289 and 290 to report unclassified employees. Penalties for failure to do so are as follows:

"R.S. 42:290 Filing of information on employees; exceptions; penalties

'A. The appointing authority of each agency, board, commission, department, or other entity in the executive branch of state government shall file with the Department of State Civil Service the name, address, position, date of employment, place of employment, hours of work, and salary or per diem of each unclassified employee under its jurisdiction. Thereafter, within thirty days of employment, termination, or change in any of the elements of employment herein enumerated, the appointing authority shall report such employment, termination, or change in status to the Department of State Civil Service. Each such appointing authority shall report with respect to all classified employees under the jurisdiction of the entity as required by and in accordance with the rules of the State Civil Service Commission. All such information shall be open to public inspection and, except to the extent otherwise provided herein, shall be subject to the provisions of R.S. 44:1 through R.S. 44:41.

'B. For purposes of R.S. 42:289 through 291, the term 'state government' shall not include district courts, including the civil and criminal courts of Orleans Parish, district attorneys, sheriffs, clerks of court, registrars of voters, assessors, coroners, parishes, municipalities, and any other unit of local government, including school boards and special districts, authorized by law to perform governmental functions.

'C. Any person who willfully violates any provision of R.S. 42:289 or R.S. 42:290 shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment for a term of not less than ten days nor more than six months, or by both fine and imprisonment."

In order to be certain of the accuracy and completeness of our records, we are asking that you examine carefully the listing and compare the information shown with your agency records. If there are errors on the listing, and

If you find no listing enclosed with this letter it is an indication that we have not received information from you on the SF-1 or that your office does not employ unclassified personnel.

If you desire further information regarding this matter, please contact this office at (504) 342-8285 or LINC 421-8285.

Sincerely,

Herbert L. Sumrall
Director
