RE: S.C.R. No. 240

S.D. 1

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Labor & Tourism, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 240, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT TO ESTABLISH A NEW CIVIL SERVICE CLASS FOR PROJECT MANAGERS UNDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING UNIT 13,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to urge the Department of Human Resources Development to establish a new civil service class for project managers under Collective Bargaining Unit 13.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Human Resources Development and Hawaii Government Employees Association, AFSCME Local 152, AFL-CIO.

Your Committee finds that the establishment of a new civil service class for project managers under Collective Bargaining Unit 13 will allow for resolution of the salary inversion issue presented by having the engineers and architects who are supervised by those project managers paid more than their supervisors.

Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 240, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as S.C.R. No. 240, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Tourism,
