*For eligible employees whose last workday of a week is Friday, the last day to use the 2013 Discretionary Day is Friday, December 20, 2013. For employees whose last workday of a week is Saturday, the last day to use the 2013 Discretionary Day is Saturday, December 21, 2013. 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).  

Employees who enter their own time via the PeopleSoft Time and Labor “Update My Time Sheet” link in Employee Self Service, can also tell if a Discretionary Day is available by clicking on the Balances hyperlink located on your timesheet. If you see the words “Discretionary Day is Available” under the Balances link, you still have a Discretionary Day available.

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.
