L.?7,06 <br /> From: Dominic Yagong,Council Chairperson <br /> Re: Furlough and Medical Expenses for All Exempt Legislative Branch Employees <br /> On July 13,2011 Mayor William P. Kenoi announced that a supplemental agreement had been reached <br /> with the Hawai`i Government Employees Association(HGEA)for the contract period July 1,2011 to <br /> .1 une 30,2013.Mayor Kenoi also issued Executive Order No. 156 bringing the exempt employees in the <br /> executive branch in line with the new supplemental HGEA agreement. <br /> hat agreement calls for 12 furlough days a year set to begin on July 29,2011.Council action is required <br /> in order to bring the legislative branch in line with this new HGEA agreement. <br /> Because this matter cannot be heard before the Hawai`i County Council prior to July 29,2011 I am taking <br /> the following action as Chairperson to bring the legislative branch in line with the rest of the County of <br /> Ilawai`i. <br /> 1. An unpaid day of administrative leave is scheduled for July 29,2011. Exempt legislative <br /> branch employees should not report to work on July 29, 2011. <br /> 2. A resolution will be considered by the Hawai`i County Council on August 3,2011 to authorize <br /> 23 furlough days to occur on the first Friday of each month beginning August 5,2011.These <br /> furlough days,plus the one day of unpaid administrative leave scheduled for July 29,2011, <br /> equals the 24 furlough days agreed upon by the Mayor and HGEA in the supplemental <br /> agreement.This resolution will also set the division of the medical premium rates at 60%paid <br /> by the county and 40%paid by the employee. <br /> Our Accountant Joyce Unoki will be sending out instructions via email later this week for the completion <br /> of timesheets to reflect this unpaid day off. <br /> Should you have any questions please feel free to contact my office at extension 8538. <br /> Warmest Aloha. <br /> I)Y:sao <br /> Serving the Interests(tithe People of Our Island <br /> Hawaii County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer <br />
