State of Kansas Political Activities Memo: Please review the Memo from Governor Sebelius regarding Political Activities for State Employees.

Veterans Preference: The State of Kansas recognizes the enormous contributions of men and women who have served their country in uniform. As a veteran of the Armed Services, you may be entitled to preference when seeking employment with state government.

Alternative Work Schedules: In response to the rising cost of gas and increasing detrimental affects to the environment, the University of Kansas Medical Center has developed policies supporting the concept and use of various scheduling arrangements, telecommuting and/or carpooling.

Classified Annual Leave Enhancement: The Kansas Board of Regents recently approved an enhancement to the vacation leave policy for classified employees. Beginning with FY09, all eligible classified staff will be permitted to accumulate up to 304 hours of annual leave. Employees with 10 or more years of service will also accumulate vacation leave faster than under the old system.Payout of unused vacation leave will be up to 176 hours upon termination of employment and up to 240 hours if retiring from state service.Employees will not be permitted to accrue more than 304 hours of leave, therefore there will no longer be any option to convert "excess" leave to sick leave.Please see the link for more details on the accrual tables.

Pay plan information for Classified Staff: Beginning in FY09, the State of Kansas is beginning a multi-year plan to improve classified salaries. Although not all classified titles are scheduled for additional salary hikes in FY09, approximately 2/3 of KUMC classified staff will receive a supplemental "market adjustment" in addition to the 2.5% general increase. In most cases the supplemental "market adjustment" will be approximately 5%. More information about the statewide pay plan is available by visiting the State of Kansas New Pay Plans.
