Gov. David Ige signed a memorandum granting non-essential state employees on O‘ahu and Kaua‘i administrative leave as the state prepares for severe weather resulting from Hurricane Lane. State offices on O‘ahu and Kaua‘i will be closed on Thursday, Aug. 23, 2018 through Friday, Aug. 24, 2018. Non-essential workers affected by the office closures should not report to work and will be granted administrative leave.
However, employees who fall into one of the following categories are required to report to work, unless it is determined that the employee can be excused:
Departmental Disaster/Emergency Coordinators
Disaster Response Workers
Employees whose work involves continuing crucial operations/services, such as hospital workers, correctional workers, etc.
All other employees should not report to work on Thursday, Aug. 23 and Friday, Aug. 24, 2018.
