The following Discretionary Day countdown message will be posted on the State Employee Services webpage www.kansas.gov/employee/ within the next day. We hope this message will help answer some questions employees may have.

”XX days left to use your 2006 Discretionary Day!* more… 

*For eligible employees whose last workday of a week is Friday, the last day to use the 2006 Discretionary Day is Friday, December 15, 2006. For employees whose last workday of a week is Saturday, the last day to use the 2006 Discretionary Day is Saturday, December 16, 2006. 

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-Regents). 

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

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