*For eligible employees whose last workday of a week is Thursday or Friday, the last day to use the 2009 Discretionary Day is Thursday, December 24, 2009 (Friday December 25th is the Christmas Holiday). For employees whose last workday of a week is Saturday, the last day to use the 2009 Discretionary Day is Saturday, December 26, 2009. 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 Day is Available” on your View Leave Balances page, you still have a Discretionary Day available (for 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.”
