Honolulu, Hawaii
H.D. 1
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fourth State Legislature
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.R. No. 67 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTING AND GENERAL SERVICES STUDY AND EVALUATE ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF UPGRADING THE STATE’S PAYROLL AND PERSONNEL SYSTEMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this resolution is to request that the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS) conduct a study on its current payroll system and human resources systems. The purpose of this study would be to evaluate how the DAGS payroll system could better accommodate the needs of a 21st century government and lessen or diminish lag times.
The Hawaii Government Employees Association and DAGS are in support of this resolution. DAGS has stated that lag times can be caused by untimely or incorrect information from departments, not just outdated systems, but is still willing to conduct a study on how the payroll system can be improved.
Your Committee heard testimony that DAGS would like definitions of the specific personnel systems improvement that the bill seeks. Upon further reflection, your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Removing "and human resources systems" from the text on line 8, thus focusing the study on payroll.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 67, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.R. No. 67, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
