Gov. Josh Green’s administration and the University of Hawaii System has offered HGEA’s Unit 8 a settlement for our claim for temporary hazard pay split into two compensation tiers — $10,000 and $20,000.
According to the offer on the table, which is in line with what the state has offered other jurisdictions, the THP payout that Unit 8 employees receive will be based on the days affected employees physically reported to work during the period of March 4, 2020 to March 25, 2022.
Those who physically reported to work for 420 days or more during the emergency proclamation would be entitled to $20,000. Those who worked a hybrid schedule (physical at work and telework) and physically reported to work for less than 420 days would be eligible for compensation of $10,000. Employees on alternate work schedules (4-10, 12-hour shifts) have a different minimum day requirement for tier 1 placement. See settlement details before casting your vote.
HGEA is NOT making a recommendation on whether you should accept or reject this settlement offer.
