Madam:
Your Committee on Labor, to which was referred S.R. No. 38 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING EACH JURISDICTION WITHIN THE STATE OF HAWAII TO SUBMIT PERIODIC REPRICING REVIEWS, AS REQUIRED UNDER SECTION 89-9, HAWAII REVISED STATUTES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request each jurisdiction within the State to review the assignment of classes to pay ranges at least once every five years, pursuant to chapter 89, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to ensure competitive and equitable compensation for civil service employees.
Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by one organization. Testimony in opposition to this measure was submitted by three state agencies and three county agencies. Comments were submitted by one county agency. Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that this measure supports the merit principle of equal pay for equal work between classes within the same bargaining unit, pursuant to section 76-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, thereby promoting fair, competitive, and equitable compensation for civil service employees.
Your Committee has amended this measure by requiring that a copy of each repricing review be:
(1) Submitted to the appropriate bargaining units to which the repricing reviews pertain; and
(2) Made available online.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 38, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as S.R. No. 38, S.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor,
