Helpful Tips

  • During the employee orientation session, all new Academic and Unclassified fiscal year staff will have the one-time option to choose the LSU or the Civil Service Leave Accrual Schedule. Click on the Leave Accumulation Tables for a comparison of the leave accruals. The window to make this selection is 30 days and the choice is irrevocable. Classified employees are also welcome to view the bi-weekly leave accruals.  
  • You should be able to view leave accruals in PeopleSoft or run leave reports if you have querying and monitor absence access. Please contact your department administrator for assistance.  If you need additional assistance, please contact PS HR Support via email.
  • Academic and Unclassified employees are responsible for completing an electronic SF-6 Application for Leave online and submitting to their immediate supervisor/department head in advance (forseeable instances) of taking all types of leave (i.e., Annual, Sick, LWOP, Funeral, Educational, Military and Civil). Classified employees must complete and submit a SF-6 Application for Leave (in paper format) to their immediate supervisor in advance (forseeable instances) of taking all types of leave.  For instances involving illness or other unforeseen circumstances, employees should submit the SF-6 Application for Leave in the applicable format immediately upon their return to work. 
  • When a new employee is completing a new hire orientation packet, it is important to provide us with as much information as possible about your prior state service. The state employment history may be requested either on the “biographical information form” or the “employee information” form in your new hire packet. This information should include agency name/state agency and address, employment dates and salary.
  • The transfer of leave balances is handled by the Human Resources Department when employees transfer to LSU Health Sciences Center via a written request to the former agency where prior service occurred. When an employee transfers out from LSU Health Sciences Center, the agency employee transfers into should submit a written request to LSU Health Sciences Center, ATTN Human Resources Department, 433 Bolivar St., New Orleans, LA 70112 or fax it to (504) 568-8350.
