EXPRESSING THE APPROVAL OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU ON A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE RULES OF THE DIRECTOR OF CIVIL SERVICE.

    WHEREAS, Section 79-12 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes provides for the promulgation of rules and regulations relating to leaves of absences by the Civil Service Director, subject to the approval of the Council; and

    WHEREAS, the Council of the City and County of Honolulu wishes to revise the leave of absence policy of the City through the adoption of a resolution;

    WHEREAS, the current rule relating to leaves of absence of exempt employees is not consistent with other leave rules of the City, and provides different treatment for exempt employees versus civil service employees; and

    WHEREAS, there is nothing in the applicable rules which justifies the disparate treatment of such employees; and

    WHEREAS, the Corporation Counsel advises that the current rule should be rescinded; and

    WHEREAS, a public hearing on the deletion of the rule was held and no comments nor objections were received at the public hearing; now, therefore,

    BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City and County of Honolulu that Rule 5.3, "Reappointment of Employee," of the Rules of the Director of Civil Service as stated below, be repealed.

    Rule 5.3 presently states:

    When an appointed or elected officer exempted from civil service is entitled to vacation or sick leave allowance and such officer is reappointed or reelected to the same office or position, at the expiration of the term of such office or position or is elected or appointed to any other office or position and such officer assumes such office or position without delay following such reappointment, reelection, appointment, or election, such officer shall not forfeit any previously accrued or accumulated vacation or sick leave allowance. Such an officer may request and be entitled to cash payment for all vacation credits accumulated as of the last day of office or employment


    prior to the reappointment or reelection. Such cash payment shall be computed on the basis of a month's salary for each 20 days of accumulated vacation, and

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Council of the City and County of Honolulu that the Clerk is hereby directed to transmit this Resolution to the Mayor, the Director of Civil Service and the Corporation Counsel.
