Subject: County Charter Section 3-13; Adoption of Pay Plan
Thank you for allowing us to provide input for Section 3-13 of the Hawaii County
Charter. Please see below for the responses to your questions in the memo dated
August 27, 2018:
What is the "position classification plan" as referenced in Section 3-13; to whom
does it apply; and for what reason is Section 7-1.5 provided as a cross
reference?
The position classification plan is our Compensation Plan that is updated
annually. It contains a listing and grouping of ali civii service classes of work and
classes that are required by HRS §76-77 to be included in the classification
system, such as positions in the Mayor's office.
Section 7-1.5 refers to the Position Compensation Plan which is required under
HRS §76-13 (a). This section requires that each Director (of Human Resources)
"shall establish, implement, and maintain one or more classification systems
covering all civil service positions, not otherwise exempted by rules. The
classification system shall be constructed with the objective of achieving equal
pay for equal work as provided in section 76-1
That the pay plan (otherwise known as the Salary Ordinance) may be amended
by the Council via resolution, rather than the traditional manner of amending an
ordinance with subsequent ordinance.
I am not sure why the Charter allows for amending the Salary Ordinance by
resolution. That may be a question better suited for the Office of Corporation
Counsel.
