Effective July 1, 2016, 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 July 1, 2016, 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, 2017.
If you have any questions, please contact RCUH Employment at 956-7307 or via email at [email protected].

If you are currently participating in RCUH’s Group Retirement Annuity (GRA) and/or Supplemental Retirement Annuity (SRA) plans administered through TIAA-CREF OR if you are interested in enrolling into a TIAA-CREF SRA plan, the RCUH Human Resources Department is now coordinating one-hour Individual/Employee Retirement Counseling Sessions with TIAA-CREF. During these meetings, you will be able to discuss your personal financial/retirement goals with a TIAA-CREF Financial Consultant, on a free and confidential basis.
A TIAA-CREF representative will be able to assist you with planning for your retirement goals, including:
For employees unfamiliar with the SRA plan, it is considered a 403(b) tax-deferred annuity plan which allows an employee to make contributions via payroll deduction from his/her pre-tax earnings towards an individual retirement plan (i.e., SRA) through our third party administrator, TIAA-CREF. Enrolling or making changes to your SRA election may be done at any time during the year. For more information about the GRA and SRA plans, please go to our website, www.rcuh.com and review the RCUH Retirement Plans Policy (3.560).
