LSU explained that paid family leave for all staff would commence on the 1st of January. However, some employees were informed that the policy was yet to be ratified. This action began after Louisiana’s Civil Service Commission approved a paid family leave policy for 39,000 classified employees, and ex-Governor John Bel Edwards signed an executive order extending the benefit to 32,000 state workers. However, a few LSU employees have been told that they cannot yet access the benefit. If approved, LSU’s policy would allow any parent, regardless of gender, up to six weeks of paid leave following childbirth or adoption. This benefit was announced to staff via a campus-wide email by Niki Norton, LSU’s assistant vice president for human resources. It appears that the only remaining requirement for its approval is the signature of William F. Tate, the president of LSU. However, it seems that this approval was not yet granted. Some employees were denied access to the benefit while others anxiously await updates on its approval. When the policy was initially announced, it was presented as a significant asset for staff retention and attraction. Unfortunately, there have been concerns about the permanency of the policy under the governorship of Jeff Landry, who is yet to decide on its future due to budgetary considerations.
