Membership of employees holding more than one position, appointment, or office
HRS §88-42.5
in effect88-42.5. Membership of employees holding more than one position, appointment, or office
(a) The membership of any employee holding more than one full-time position, appointment, office, or any combination thereof shall be limited to the position, appointment, or office of the employee's option; provided that the employment in the position, appointment, or office shall meet the minimum membership eligibility requirements as provided in this part. Any contributions made based on the compensation, pay, or salary of the employee's position, appointment, or office other than that on which the employee's membership is based shall be returned to the employee.
The foregoing shall not apply to any employee
holding two part-time positions of the same class if each position meets the
minimum eligibility requirements for membership, and the sum total of the
compensation, pay, or salary received for both positions does not exceed the
higher of the full-time compensation, pay, or salary for either position.
(b) The membership of any faculty member or
lecturer of the University of Hawaii with multiple part-time appointments or
positions shall be based on an aggregate of all such part-time faculty or
lecturer appointments or positions not to exceed one full-time position. For
the purposes of this chapter, the sum total of the compensation, pay, or salary
received from the positions shall not exceed an amount equal to the highest of
the full-time compensation, pay, or salary for any one of the part-time appointments
or positions.
Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary,
with respect to any existing or former faculty member, lecturer, or
administrative, professional, or technical employee of the University of Hawaii
who holds or held multiple part-time appointments or positions prior to July 1,
2003, and who was reported by the University of Hawaii to the system as
eligible for membership in the system, the system shall not adjust its records
for, or reduce the benefits of, such faculty member, lecturer, or
administrative, professional, or technical employee by reason of the failure of
such faculty member, lecturer, or administrative, professional, or technical
employee to meet the system membership eligibility requirements without the
aggregation of multiple part-time appointments or positions.
