Director's
Report
Acting Director of Human Resources Janine Rapozo reviewed the Acting Director's Report
for December with the Commission (on file). Ms. Rapozo stated she received notice from
the Hawaii Government Employees Association (HGEA) that all units would file an
impasse. She said HGEA has requested that each unit conduct arbitrations separately due to
each unit having unrelated issues. Ms. Rapozo said separate arbitrations would extend
decisions and funding award approval past the Legislative session, which ends April 30,
2019, and would place awards in retroactive pay. The first to go through arbitration is the
Fire Department, which is scheduled the first week of January.
