RE:   H.B. No. 2163

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 2163 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SALARY AND PENSION PAYMENTS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to require all state employees hired prior to July 1, 1998, who have not designated a financial account into which the State is authorized to deposit the employee's pay, designate an account no later than a date to be determined.

 

     The Department of Education (DOE) testified in support of this bill.

 

     Your Committee notes DOE's concern that the implementation of furlough days has impacted paycheck processing on paydays that coincide with furlough days.  The logistics of island-by-island distribution of checks is challenging and payment to those without direct deposit may be delayed.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2163 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
