La. Admin. Code tit. 55 § XIII-705
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 8, August 20, 2024
Section XIII-705 - Back Pay PolicyA. Because the Department of Public Safety's fiscal year ends on June 30, back pay cannot be paid beyond July of a given year without legislative approval. It is the responsibility of the parish to submit the necessary paperwork for an employee on a timely basis. In the event that the parish fails to submit the proper forms to the Department of Public Safety when the individual takes office, the Department of Public Safety will pay back pay only for the current fiscal year. See examples below. Date of Office | Date Oath Received | First Check Dated | Amount |
1. 08-01-84 | 12-11-84 | 12-31-84 | $105 |
2. 05-01-84 | 08-07-84 | 08-31-84 | $ 42 |
Explanation:
1. In this case, the employee was eligible for supplemental pay beginning on 08-01-84. The "Oath of Office" was received on 12-11-84, so the first check was issued on 12-31-84. The amount of the check is $21 for each month through December (August, September, October, November, and December).2. In this case, eligibility began on 05-01-84. The oath was received on 08-07-84, too late to pay prior year money. The first check was dated 08-31-84, and paid the employee for the months of July and August only. The Legislative Budget Committee would have to approve payment for May and June.La. Admin. Code tit. 55, § XIII-705
