Hawaii Minimum Wage Law Update
- Minimum wage is set to increase to $12.00 per hour effective October 1, 2022; $14.00 per hour effective January 1, 2024; $16.00 per hour effective January 1, 2026; and $18.00 per hour effective January 1, 2028.
- The revised poster also includes the name of the new Director of the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.
Wage and Hour Exemptions
Employees may be exempt from wage and hour laws based on criteria associated with their salary, actual duties, and skills. Exempt employees neither receive overtime pay nor qualify for minimum wage. Hawaii labor law defines these exemptions based on Executive, Administrative, or Professional status. Learn more here.
Hawaii Labor Law Poster Update
All businesses within the State of Hawaii must display the new Notice to Employees: Wage and Hour Laws along with other state-mandated posting requirements where it is sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. This change has been reflected in our Hawaii & Federal Labor Law Poster and does require an immediate mandatory update. Failure to meet compliance requirements and display the updated poster could result in fines.
Order the Hawaii Labor Law Poster to immediately include this required update.
