RE:   H.B. No. 917

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 917 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WAGES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to require employers to provide employees with information on wages and rates of pay and to maintain accurate records of employee compensation.

 

     The Department of Labor and Industrial Relations submitted testimony in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that providing specific wage and rate of pay information to employees on their wage statements would keep employees better informed about their compensation and allow them to do more effective financial planning.  Your Committee notes that requiring employers to keep accurate records of their employees' wages and rates of pay will also assist the Department's Wage Standards Division to be more effective when helping workers recover unpaid wages.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 917 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
