STAND. COM. REP. NO.404

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: S.B. No. 766

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Labor and Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 766 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SALARY PERIODS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to abolish the payroll lag for public employees.

The Hawaii Government Employees Association and Hawaii State Teachers Association testified in support of this measure.

Act 355, Session Laws of Hawaii 1997, established an after-the-fact payroll schedule for public employees that eventually resulted in pay days for public employees being extended from the first and fifteenth days of each month to the fifth and twentieth days of each month. This measure abolishes the payroll lag and reestablishes the first and fifteenth days of each month as pay days for public employees.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Labor and Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 766 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Labor and Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations,
