  • Must be paid in accordance with the rules;
  • May only be disciplined (for cause) or removed after being provided due process; and
  • May NOT participate in political activities related to the support of any political candidate, party or faction at any level of government, including federal or local, as well as state.

 

Unclassified employees:

Positions that are designated as unclassified by the state constitution are not subject to the hiring and compensation standards set by State Civil Service, although they may have qualification requirements and pay limits set by state statutes. When the Commission or the Director designates a position as unclassified, they may choose to set parameters regarding qualifications or compensation as a condition of their approval of the position. However, anyone appointed to a management level position that has been designated by the Commission as unclassified must at least meet the minimum qualification standards defined in La. R.S. 42:67.1, which are: a bachelor’s degree (or four years related experience) plus three years responsible managerial experience. (The Commission may add additional requirements.)
