Minors' hours and meal or rest period (ages 14 and 15)
Ages 14 and 15: at most 5 hours of continuous work without at least 30 consecutive minutes for a rest or lunch period; work only between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (6 a.m. to 9 p.m. during an authorized school break); at most 6 consecutive days; at most 18 hours in a school week and 40 hours in a non-school week; at most 3 hours on a school day and 8 hours on a non-school day. Ages 16 and 17 need a certificate of age; no hour limits are stated for them in this section.
Final pay when employment ends
Discharged employees: wages in full at the time of discharge, or no later than the next working day if immediate payment is not possible. Employees who quit: by the next regular payday, or at the time of quitting if they gave at least one pay period of notice. Laid-off or suspended employees: by the next regular payday. A Hawaii Supreme Court case noted on the statute held that payment for unused vacation at separation is not "wages" under HRS 388-1.
Payroll and time records
Employers keep a true and accurate record of each employee, including the hours worked each day and each workweek and the pay for each pay period, and give each employee a pay statement every pay period. HRS 387-6 states no retention period: it leaves the periods of time to the director's rules (Hawaii Administrative Rules), which are human read pending because the agency site could not be read automatically.
