Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 39, § 86. Central payroll system

A. The division of administration shall develop and implement a central automated payroll system for all budget units or programs. The system shall be designated to issue payroll checks only to employees who occupy positions approved by the Department of State Civil Service and to monitor all transactions which result in the payment of salaries or wages. It shall report on the exception basis transactions for each budget unit or program which are not in conformance with the appropriation acts. The division of administration shall report annually to the legislature on the status of the payroll system until the system is operational.

B. Upon the completion of the central payroll system and after the completion of each pay cycle, the Department of State Civil Service shall prepare a report by department and budget unit detailing the variances by position and incumbent between the actual payroll and the approved personnel table. This report shall be made available on request to the budget office and the legislative fiscal office.
