Hawaii HB555 mandates employers to provide employees with a ten-minute rest period for every four hours of work.

Hawaii HB555 amends Chapter 378 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes to require employers to allow employees a rest period of at least ten consecutive minutes for every four hours of work. This rest period must be in the middle of each work period and is counted as time worked. Employers failing to provide these rest periods must compensate employees for at least one additional hour of work at their regular rate of compensation for each workday without a rest period. Additionally, employers face fines for each missed rest period, imposed by the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.
