Wage Theft

Outcome

On a certified question from the federal district court, the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court held that Hawaiʻi's minimum wage law (HRS §§ 387-2 and 387-12) requires a per-hour unit of measure, not the FLSA's per-workweek averaging approach, meaning employers must pay at least minimum wage for each hour worked.
