Governor Abercrombie has authorized State agencies to allow all Regular status employees a half-day off (with pay) on either December 24 or December 31, 2012.  Pursuant to the Governor’s directive, Michael Hamnett, RCUH Executive Director has authorized the following:

 

  1. All regular status, salaried/hourly employees that can be spared will be given a half-day administrative leave with pay on either December 24 or 31, 2012.
  2. Any employee required to work during these period shall not be entitled to overtime, but shall be given equivalent administrative time off at some other date determined by the Principal Investigator.
  3. Less than full-time, regular, salaried/hourly employees will be granted a proportionate amount of administrative leave form their scheduled work time.
  4.  Employees on personal leaves of absence, or those on disciplinary suspension are not entitled to this administrative leave.
  5.  Regular status employees on vacation or sick leave on December 24 or 31 should charge only the hours in excess of their applicable administrative leave.

The Governor reminds all agencies to comply with Chapter 80, Hawaii Revised Statutes, which state, “offices…. shall be open for the transaction of public business between the hours of 7:45 a.m. and 4:30 p.m….” Principal Investigators whose projects service the public should take appropriate steps to ensure compliance with this requirement.

 

Time Reporting Issues:  On the RCUH Timesheet form you should indicate the Holiday Administrative Leave with Pay as “ADM”.   Enter “ADM” on the RCUH online timesheet noting number of hours to be charged as paid administrative leave.
