The Department of Civil Service is the central personnel
agency for the state of
Louisiana
. Our goal is to help
state agencies manage their human resources so that they may provide the most
effective service to the citizens of
Louisiana
. In pursuit of this
goal, we administer a comprehensive merit-based personnel management program.
Our policies are founded upon the principles of equal pay for equal work,
equal opportunity, ability based employment and promotion, and freedom from
political influence.
The Louisiana Department of State Civil Service and the Baton Rouge Information and Recruiting Office will be closed on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 for the observance of Veteran's Day. There will be no Civil Service testing on this day.
