LAC 55:XVII.903. Board Approval of Applications

A. All applications for supplemental pay are subject to board approval. Applicants whose job duties and/or classifications are among those the board routinely approves are placed on the payroll in the appropriate month prior to board approval. The board meets quarterly and approves these routine additions to the payroll for the quarter just ended. Applicants whose duties and/or classifications are not among those the board routinely approves or applications with questionable information are put before the board for an eligibility ruling. B. In the event of an application being put before the board, the municipality is notified of the meeting and is invited to attend and participate in any discussion pertaining to the application. The municipality and applicant are also notified of the board's decision. C. Decisions of the board are final as per R.S. 40:1667.6. However, the employee has the right to appeal a board decision. Written notice of intent to appeal the board's decision must be submitted to the department no later than 30 days after receipt of the denial letter. The appeal shall be included on the next regular meeting agenda. See §913 for information on the policies of the board on "Back Pay".
