BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 78-13, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) Unless otherwise provided by law,
all officers and employees shall be paid at least semimonthly except that
substitute teachers, part-time hourly rated teachers of adult and evening
classes, and other part-time, intermittent, or casual employees may be paid
once a month [and that the governor, upon reasonable notice and upon
determination that the payroll payment basis should be converted from predicted
payroll to after-the-fact payroll, may allow a one-time once a month payroll payment
to all public officers and employees to effect a conversion to after-the-fact
payroll as follows:
(1) The implementation of the
after-the-fact payroll will commence with the June 30, 1998, pay day, which
will be delayed to July 1, 1998;
(2) The July 15, 1998, pay day will be
delayed to July 17, 1998;
(3) The July 31, 1998, pay day will be
delayed to August 3, 1998;
(4) The August 14, 1998, pay day will be

a state holiday, Saturday, or Sunday, the pay day will be the immediately
preceding weekday.
The implementation of the after-the-fact payroll
shall not be subject to negotiation under chapter 89]. Pay days shall
be on the first and the fifteenth of each month. If the first or the fifteenth
day falls on a state holiday, Saturday, or Sunday, the pay day shall be the
immediately preceding weekday. The implementation of payroll salary periods shall
not be subject to negotiation under chapter 89."
SECTION 2. The governor and the comptroller, in implementing this Act, shall take any necessary steps to ensure that minimal disruptions occur in the payment of salary or wages to public employees.
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval; provided that pay day adjustments made pursuant to this Act shall commence on July 1, 2009; and provided further that any pay being withheld by the State or a county pursuant to an after the fact payroll system shall be paid to the employee not later than December 31, 2009, or within two weeks of the employee's termination, whichever occurs first.
