Level Up your financial education game with the MetLife Retirewise Financial Wellness Workshop! This four-part series can play a fundamental role in directing your basic financial and retirement planning. In its 15th year, Retirewise has offered over 14,000 workshops to more than 3,000 companies in all 50 states.
A broad spectrum of financial and retirement-related issues will be covered in these one-hour sessions, including budgeting, investment principles, Social Security, and estate planning – there is something here for everyone. Each session includes different topics and employees are able to choose which session they want to learn more about. However, to make the most out of this special opportunity it is recommended to attend all sessions, as each session build on the previous week’s content and employees will also be asked to do homework to assess their own personal finances.
This virtual series is offered (at no cost) to all RCUH employees and registration is forthcoming. The workshop will be from 12noon – 1pm HST for the following Tuesdays in April:
With Retirewise, you’ll be on your way to making smarter financial decisions and creating an action plan that works for you.
Because these sessions are being held during the middle of the day, all employees should notify their PIs and supervisors if they would like to attend. We encourage Principal Investigators and Supervisors to allow their employees to attend these sessions, if requested.
[Spouses and partners are welcome!]

To improve our security posture, RCUH will be incorporating Duo Security as a two-factor authentication solution into our RCUH Financial Portal, Human Resources Portal, and Employee Self-Service on Friday, Feb. 23, 2024. By requiring two different channels of authentication, we can protect user logins from remote attacks that may exploit stolen usernames and passwords.
How will Duo change my login experience?
When logging into an application that is protected by Duo, you will still enter your username and password. After inputting your login information, Duo requires you to approve a Duo Push notification to your smartphone or tablet and enter a 3-digit code for two-factor authentication. Duo does not replace or require you to change your username and password. Think of Duo as a layer of security added to your pre-existing login method.
If you do not have a smartphone or tablet, please email [email protected] so that we may enroll you in alternate two-factor authentication options.

Effective January 1, 2024, the Hawai‘i State Minimum Wage will increase from $12.00 per hour to $14.00
per hour. There are subsequent increases to the minimum wage through the year 2028 as outlined below:
| Effective Date | Minimum Wage |
| January 1, 2026 | $16.00 per hour |
| January 1, 2028 | $18.00 per hour |
As a result, RCUH will implement the below changes to remain in compliance and maintain labor market competitiveness.
Student Assistant Pay Schedule and Non-Recruited Employees (Intermittent and Temporary status):
Historically, the RCUH Student Assistant Pay Schedule aligns with the University of Hawai‘i (UH) Student Pay Schedule. The new minimum pay rate at the entry level (A1-1) is $14.50/hour. Effective January 1, 2024, RCUH will adjust pay rates for all active Student Assistants, in accordance with their current pay grade and step. No action is needed from the PIs/projects.
The established Student Assistant Pay Schedule reflects pay rates for subsequent changes in 2026 and 2028. Similar notices and actions regarding the pay adjustment process will be communicated and initiated to comply with the pay schedule.
All Non-Recruited employees (Intermittent and Temporary status) must be compensated at least $14.50 per hour, consistent with the minimum pay rate for Regular-Status employees and Student Assistants.
RCUH Human Resources will identify current Non-Recruited employees who are making below $14.50 per hour and work with the Principal Investigators to adjust their pay rates to ensure compliance with the new minimum pay rate.
Regular-Status Pay Schedule (Non-Exempt and Exempt):
RCUH Human Resources has reviewed and adjusted the Regular-Status Non-Exempt and Exempt Pay Schedule in relation to the January 1, 2024 minimum wage increase. Please refer to policy 3.330 RCUH Pay Schedules for the updated pay schedule. Compliance with the updated Pay Schedule will be implemented in two phases:
