La. Admin. Code tit. 55 § XV-913
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 8, August 20, 2024
Section XV-913 - [Effective 10/29/2024] Back Pay PolicyA. Because the Department of Public Safety's fiscal year ends on June 30, back supplemental pay cannot be paid beyond July without Legislative approval. The Board of Review must approve all back supplemental pay, whether or not it extends beyond the current fiscal year.1. Back Pay in Current Fiscal Year. The board will approve only one month of back pay for an employee of a fire department which already has employees on the supplemental payroll. Except in extreme cases involving litigation, which the board will consider individually, the board feels that there is no reason for the fire department to be more than one month late in submitting the appropriate forms for the employee. For fire departments which do not have any employees on the payroll and may not have been aware of the state supplemental pay or the procedures to follow in order to receive supplemental pay, the board will consider each case on an individual basis.2. Back Pay Extending beyond Current Fiscal Year. By Act 110 of the 1982 Legislature, after board approval, applications for back pay extending beyond current fiscal year must be submitted to the Legislative Budget Committee for final approval before payment can be made to the individual. Note: The board feels that it is the fire department's responsibility to submit all necessary forms in time for an employee to begin receiving supplemental pay after three months of service. If the fire department is negligent and submits the application late for no apparent reason, then the fire department should compensate the employee for any back pay the board denies.
