Voluntary retirement incentive deadline extended

The State of Kansas has extended the deadline for its voluntary retirement incentive program. Eligible employees have until Friday, Oct. 14, to submit their paperwork for the incentive. Those employees will need to set their retirement date no later than Oct. 31, 2011. Nothing changes for individuals who have already completed their paperwork to retire in September. However, those individuals can opt to move their retirement date to Oct. 31. For more information, go to http://www.da.ks.gov/vrip/default.htm.
