For companies hiring in Hawaii, effortlessly addressing these regulations is key to attracting talent and ensuring compliance.

  • Salary Range in Job Descriptions: As of January 2024, Hawaii’s Senate Bill 1057 requires employers to list the salary range in job descriptions for positions.
  • No Pay History Inquiries: While the primary focus is on salary disclosure, the spirit of pay transparency laws often includes prohibitions on asking about past salary history, preventing the perpetuation of pay inequities.
