Section I-503 - Submittal of Suggestions to Committees

A. All applications must be submitted on the prescribed form. It is solely the responsibility of the suggester to fill out the form completely and accurately.

B. Before an application is formally submitted to an agency or state committee, the department secretary or the head of the agency shall sign the application form and list all participating employees from the agency. The committees shall rely on this application to determine employees eligible for an award recommendation. If an award recommendation is made, all participants shall be presumed to share the award equally.

C. To qualify for an incentive award recommendation, a suggestion must result in a cost savings or revenue generation.

D. The suggestion, upon submittal, shall become the exclusive property of the state of Louisiana.

E. All suggestions must be the suggester's idea and should not be the result of professional consultation or upon advice of others.

F. All suggestions shall be thoroughly documented and shall contain detailed information so that a cost-benefit analysis can be done to determine the cost savings or revenue generation. If the application does not contain sufficient information for such determination, a committee may require the suggester to submit supplemental information. If the suggester is unable or unwilling to submit the requested supplemental information, an agency or state committee may recommend that the application be declined.

G. All incentive award applications must be completed on the employee's off-duty time.
