M E M O R A N D U M (from State Ethics Commission)

 

July 9, 2010

Because 2010 is an election year, campaign activities for candidates for elective office are anticipated during this time.  The Hawaii State Ethics Commission (“Commission”) would like to remind state officials and employees that campaign restrictions apply to them under the State Ethics Code, Chapter 84, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  The Commission has issued a two-page publication, “CAMPAIGN RESTRICTIONS FOR STATE OFFICIALS AND STATE EMPLOYEES” that provides important information.  To obtain this publication, click here:

http://hawaii.gov/ethics/pubs_guides/campaigning/camprestict.pdf

 

The Commission will be issuing additional publications regarding campaign activities and the State Ethics Code. To obtain publications relevant to campaign activities that have been issued by the Commission to date, click here:

http://hawaii.gov/ethics/pubs_guides/campaigning.

Please also check for publication updates on the Commission’s website at

www.hawaii.gov/ethicshttp://www.hawaii.gov/ethics.

Please forward this memorandum to the officials and employees in your state agency.  If any state boards or commissions are within your agency or are attached to your agency, please forward this memorandum to the members of those boards or commissions as well.  Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

If you have any questions about the State Ethics Code and campaign activities by state officials and employees, please contact the Hawaii State Ethics Commission at (808) 587-0460 or

RCUH E-verify Project Completed

 

What is E-verify and why is it important?

As of September 8, 2009, federal contractors and subcontractors are required to use E-Verify. As an E-Verify participant, the RCUH completes an electronic verification of employment eligibility for all newly-hired employees. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) have established an electronic system called E-Verify to assist employers further in verifying the employment eligibility of all newly-hired employees. E-Verify is a free, Internet-based system operated by DHS in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA). E-Verify allows participating employers to electronically verify their employees’ employment authorization. Results are returned online within seconds.

 

Executive Order 12989 requires that all employers verify the identity and employment eligibility of all new employees (including U.S. citizens) within three days of hire.  In addition, Executive Order 12989 mandates the electronic verification of all employees working on any federal contract. The amended Executive Order reinforces the policy that the federal government supports a legal workforce. 

 

How does E-verify benefit you?

E-Verify is the best method for employers to verify the employment authorization of their employees. E-Verify will improve the accuracy of wage and tax reporting, protect jobs for authorized workers, and will help U.S. employers maintain a legal workforce.

 

RCUH E-verify Project

In November of 2009, RCUH requested that each project obtain new I-9 forms for those individuals who had expired identification documents. We are happy to announce that all I-9 forms and updated documents have been secured. Mahalo to all employees and PI’s for your understanding and support throughout this process.

 

For future reference, we would like to inform all Principal Investigator’s (PIs) that all employees hired directly through RCUH are automatically e-verified by RCUH on the employee’s first day of employment.

 

If you would like more information regarding E-verify, please visit http://www.dhs.gov/e-verify. For any questions regarding E-Verify, please contact Renee Doi at 956-7241 or via e-mail at [email protected].

REMINDER: NON-IMMIGRANT VISA HOLDERS’ TRAVEL
All foreign employees are required to notify RCUH HR of any changes to employment and/or personal status that may/may not affect their visa or work authorization. It is ultimately the foreign employee’s responsibility to ensure that these changes do not affect their ability to continue employment with the RCUH.

TRAVELING?

  • Employees on J-1 or H-1B visas sponsored by the RCUH must contact Janet Zukemura at (808) 956-0871 or [email protected] if you intend on traveling. We ask that you provide us at least a 2-week notice prior to travel so that we may ensure that you have the proper documentation to return to the U.S.

  • Non-immigrant employees who have a pending “change of status” petition (i.e., change from J-1 to H-1b, change from F-1 to H-1b, etc.) with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must remain in the U.S. until a determination on the petition is rendered. Whenever an individual with a pending “change of status” petition leaves the U.S., BCIS will cancel the petition since they consider the alien to have “abandoned” the request.

 

 

STUDENT VERIFICATION

All Students Assistants are responsible for submitting a Student Verification each Semester in order to qualify for continued student employment. For all University of Hawaii students (eg: UH Manoa, UH Hilo, Honolulu Community College, Maui College, etc.), verification is not required, as RCUH has the ability to verify student status´ electronically through a UH database. However, verification is still needed for UH Outreach College and non-UH Schools (i.e. High School, Chaminade, HPU, etc).

 

The following are acceptable forms of student verification:

 

a) Student registration or receipt
b) Letter of student registration from the registrar or counselor
c) Validated student I.D. card
d) Any other form of verification deemed acceptable by the Director of Human Resources

 

 

Failure to submit a Student Verification for the Fall 2010 semester by August 13, 2010 will result in termination of student employment. In addition, Student Assistants who no longer hold student status must be terminated from RCUH due to their ineligibility. Principal Investigators may initiate a termination action via the HRAP system.

 

Please contact Sharon Vong at [email protected] or (808)956-7307 if you have any questions.

Announcing Change in Group Long Term Disability and Life Insurances & Open Enrollment for Group Life Insurance

Attention all RCUH Regular employees, 75%FTE or more:

We are pleased to announce a few enhancements to the RCUH Group Long Term Disability and Group Life Insurances which will be effective on July 1, 2010:

1)    Long Term Disability Insurance:

Beginning July 1, 2010, the RCUH Group Long Term Disability Insurance will be provided and administered by the Standard Insurance Company (previously administered by the Northwestern Mutual Life).

In addition, the Group Long Term Disability (LTD) maximum monthly benefit will be increased from $10,000 to $15,000. 

2)    Group Life Insurance:

Also beginning July 1, 2010, the RCUH Group Life Insurance will be provided and administered by the Standard Insurance Company (previously administered by Pacific Guardian Life).

Currently, coverage is provided at two (2) times annual salary not to exceed $250,000.  Under the new plan, eligible employees will receive: 

 

            Two (2) times annual salary not to exceed $600,000 (default option)

 

Since the IRS requires employees to be taxed on the value of employer-provided group term life insurance over $50,000 (i.e., imputed income), the RCUH will be providing employees an opportunity to decrease their life insurance benefit to reduce or avoid “imputed income”.  It is important to note that employees wishing to decrease their benefit now, but later wish to increase coverage, will be required to complete a medical questionnaire (subject to review and approval by The Standard Insurance Company).  Reduced options include:

 

Two (2) times annual earnings not to exceed $200,000

 

Two (2) times annual earnings not to exceed $100,000

 

Two (2) times annual earnings not to exceed $50,000 (not subject to imputed income)

Group Life Insurance Open Enrollment: 

As a result of these new benefit options, the RCUH will hold a one-time Open Enrollment Period for the Group Life Insurance Benefit from Thursday, June 10, 2010 to Thursday, June 24, 2010. 

A Group Life Election /Beneficiary Designation Form will be mailed to eligible employees on/around June 10, 2010.  Employees are asked to submit their benefit option and to update their beneficiary designation.  If an enrollment change form is not received, the employee will receive the default option and no changes to their beneficiaries will be made.   Deadline to submit the form will be Thursday, June 24, 2010.  Form may be returned to: 2530 Dole Street, Sakamaki Hall D-100, Honolulu, HI 96822 or via fax at (808) 956-5022.

Should you have any questions, please contact Kristen Stevens at (808) 956-3100 or [email protected].

REMINDER: RCUH Annual Performance Evaluations due June 1, 2010

Open Enrollment – CoNFIRMATION PROCESS

The 2010 Benefits Open Enrollment Period for eligible RCUH employees has ended.  Employees should be receiving a benefits confirmation statement outlining their elections (effective July 1, 2010) on/around May 28, 2010.  Please review the benefits listed on the statement for accuracy.  Any corrections to your benefits can be made on the “RCUH Open Enrollment Correction/Change Form” which will be on the back of the confirmation statement.  The final date to submit the Correction/Change Form to the RCUH Human Resources office will be Tuesday, June 8, 2010. 

 

Please note that the new plan year health insurance deductions will begin in the June 16-30, 2010 pay period.  All other new plan year deductions will commence in the July 1-15, 2010 pay period (Flexible Spending Plans & Supplemental Insurances). 

 

Please check your On-line Payroll Statements (via Employee Self-Service) to ensure that the deductions accurately reflect your elections.

 

IMPORTANT!! – RCUH Eligibility of Children in RCUH Medical Plans

RCUH Policy 3.520 Health Plans states that dependent children may remain eligible and covered on their parent’s medical plans until the age of 25 provided they are unmarried and are full-time students.  These eligibility requirements will remain unchanged for the RCUH July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011 plan year.

The new health care reform law or the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will bring changes to the RCUH medical plans and policy.  Effective September 23, 2010, the PPAPC requires health care coverage to children up to age 26 (regardless of dependency, student or marital status).  The PPAPC requires any employer whose medical plan year begins after September 23, 2010 to amend its children eligibility requirements to conform with the new law’s requirements.  However because this part of the PPACA goes into effect after the RCUH Open Enrollment for its July 1, 2010 plan year, the RCUH will not include this change in children coverage until our July 1, 2011 plan year. 

Please contact Kristen Stevens at (808) 956-6979 or [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns. 

STUDENT VERIFICATION

All Students Assistants are responsible for submitting a Student Verification each semester in order to qualify for continued student employment.

c) Validated student I.D. card

d) Any other form of verification deemed acceptable by the Director of Human Resources

 

Failure to submit a Student Verification for the Fall 2010 semester by August 13, 2010 will result in termination of student employment. In addition, Student Assistants who no longer hold student status must be terminated from RCUH due to their ineligibility. Principal Investigators may initiate a termination action via the HRAP system.

 

Please contact Sharon Vong at [email protected] or (808)956-7307 if you have any questions.

REMINDERS:  NON-IMMIGRANT VISA HOLDERS

All foreign employees are required to notify RCUH HR of any changes to employment and/or personal status that may/may not affect their visa or work authorization.
