Student Assistant Pay Rate Increase – Effective November 1, 2015

To: All Principal Investigators

Effective November 1, 2015, the RCUH will initiate pay rate increases to all active Student Assistants in order to align RCUH’s Student Assistant Pay Rate Schedule with the University of Hawaii’s Student Assistant Pay Rate Schedule.

You do not need to submit any online or manual personnel action forms to make this change. The RCUH Human Resources Office will initiate these pay rate changes for all Student Assistants automatically. However, after November 1, 2015, your office must initiate any subsequent pay rate changes associated with Step Pay Rate changes (i.e. Reclassification of Duties from Step A3-1 to Step A3-2) via a manual Personnel Action Form (PAF).

Please refer to the following information for further details:

We will also initiate a similar notice and process for Student Assistant Pay Rate increases effective July 1, 2016 & July 1, 2017.

If you have any questions, please contact Renee Doi, Assistant Director of Human Resources via email at [email protected].
