VACATIONS AND SICK LEAVES
Under the Kansas Civil Service Law

Vacations

Each permanent employee is entitled to vacation with pay at the rate of
one working day for each full month of service.

No vacation is granted during the probationery period, but upon comple-
tion of this period vacation time is allowed for the time served during such
period.

The time at which vacation is to be taken is to be determined by the
head of the department.

Vacations are computed on the state fiscal year basis and may be accum-
ulated for not more than eighteen working days.

Official holidays occurring in the period of vacation do not count as one
of the days allowed. Saturday counts as a whole day. :

This regulation became effective January 1, 1943. Vacation allowance
earned previous to this date should be determined on the policies of the
University in existence before January 1. Thus, in the transition in the
summer of 1943, old employees will have a somewhat more generous vacation
allowance than will be allowed under the regulations next year and thereafter.

Sick Leave

Sick leave with pay is to be granted to all employees at the rate of
one working day for each full month of service. Sick leave is computed on
the state fiscal year basis and is to be accumulated for not more than 90
working days, but leave in excess of 12 working days will be granted only
on the approval of the head of the department, the Chancellor, and the
Director of the State Civil Service.

Sick leave will be granted only for absence from duty because of personal
illness or legal quarantine. The Civil Service Director or the Chancellor has
the right at any time to require that employees requesting pay for sick leave
submit a medical certificate from the attending physician or from a designated
physician. This regulation became effective January 1, 1943.

Legal Holidays
Employees are expected to report for work on legal holidays with the

exception of New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and such other days as may be designated by the
Government as days on which state offices will be closed. When one of the
legal holidays indicated above falls on Sunday, the following business day

will be considered as a holiday for employees. The Chancellor, when it

becomes necessary, may with the approval of the State Civil Service Director
request some or all employees to report for work on any legal holiday, provided
that equivalent time off is given.
