Temporary Hazard Pay Update

HGEA is fighting for temporary hazard pay for all affected employees in all jurisdictions statewide who have been designated to perform essential functions — workers on the frontlines who have had contact with the public since the beginning of the pandemic and were/are at heightened risk of being exposed to COVID-19. 

The employer groups denied all of our grievances. The first case for arbitration, HGEA vs. the City & County of Honolulu, is scheduled to start on May 24, 2021. HGEA will be represented by Advocacy Chief Stacy Moniz. The outcome of this first case is important because it will likely set the tone for how other arbitrators will rule for employees in other jurisdictions. 

This is just another example of HGEA continuing to fight on your behalf. Stay tuned for information and updates via eBulletin as this case is heard and decided upon by the arbitrator.
