RESOLUTION
requesting the department of human resources Development to convene a task force to examine management policies regarding the use of overtime by state and county employees.
WHEREAS, the Hawaii Employees' Retirement System has an unfunded liability of approximately $8,200,000,000; and
WHEREAS, the amount that employees and their employers are required to contribute to the Employees' Retirement System each year is determined in part by base salaries, while the actual pension payments are based on the three years with the highest overall compensation, which includes overtime, differentials, and other supplemental pay; and
WHEREAS, a small number of excessive overtime cases can drive up the costs of the Employees' Retirement System significantly; and
WHEREAS, overtime is authorized by supervisors, and thus management of employees' time and work attendance is a critical factor in the determination of overtime; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-sixth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2012, the Senate concurring, that the Department of Human Resources Development is requested to convene a task force to examine management policies regarding the use of overtime by state and county employees; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the members of the task force serve without compensation; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the task force is requested to investigate, discuss, and review possible methods to reduce the amount of overtime used by state and county employees; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the task force is requested to submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2013; and
