*For eligible employees whose last workday of a week is Friday, the last day to use the 2008 Discretionary Day is Wednesday, December 24, 2008 (Thursday and Friday December 25th and 26th are holidays this year). For employees whose last workday of a week is Saturday, the last day to use the 2008 Discretionary Day is Saturday, December 27, 2008. Please check with your supervisor when scheduling your discretionary day.

You can determine if you still have an available Discretionary Day by looking on the View Leave Balances page in the Employee Self Service Center located at www.kansas.gov/employee/ (click on the Self Service icon located in the Featured Sites area). If you see the words “Discretionary Holiday” on your View Leave Balances page, you still have a Discretionary Day available (Non-Regent employees).

A complete list of Executive Branch Holidays, including Discretionary Day usage dates, is located at www.da.ks.gov/ps/subject/holiday.htm (Note: Multiple years are listed).

Check with your agency Human Resource Office if you have questions.”
