HI HB1087

Repeals the categorical exemption in Hawaii's wage and hour law that excluded employees receiving guaranteed compensation of $2,000 or more per month from minimum wage and overtime protections.

Employees earning $2,000 or more monthly will now be subject to Hawaii's minimum wage and overtime requirements unless they qualify for other specific exemptions (executive, administrative, professional, outside sales positions, etc.).

Maintains all other existing exemptions in Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 387, including agricultural workers, domestic service workers, family members, and employees covered by federal Fair Labor Standards Act provisions.

Makes minor language updates to the statute for clarity, including changing "brother, sister" to "sibling" and "son, daughter" to "child" in the family employment exemption.

Effective date: June 30, 3000 (note: appears to be a drafting error; likely intended as 2024 or similar).
