The Commission is the organizational body in charge of reviewing and adjudicating all and any of the civil service regulations and statutes. The Louisiana Civil Service Commission is also charged with the task of dealing with all appeals, including both from the civil service employees and the agencies themselves. The Louisiana Civil Service Committee also holds monthly hearings and meetings, which are open to the public.

Of the seven members to the Commission, six are appointed by the Governor of the State of Louisiana. The seventh remaining member is elected by state employee peers. All members will have a six year term.
