Authorizes hazard pay for public employees exposed to hazardous working conditions.
The bill addresses the need for equitable treatment of public employees during hazardous conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It amends Chapter 78 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to allow for pay differentials for employees exposed to unusually hazardous working conditions. These differentials can be granted if the hazard has not already been recognized in salary ranges. The pay differentials are subject to certification by fiscal officers and can be renewed for periods no longer than six months at a time.
