Employer Termination Legal Rights
Summary
In Hawaii, employers cannot force you to open a bank account for your final paycheck. They must provide payment through a check or direct deposit. Employers are also required to provide a safe workplace under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. If terminated unfairly, you may have grounds for a wrongful termination lawsuit. Contact the Hawaii Department of Labor and Industrial Relations for guidance on filing a complaint and possible penalties for your ex-employer.Full Conversation
