Hawaii Payroll Tax Recordkeeping Requirements

Every employer in Hawaii must keep for six years employee records showing for each employee: full name; Social Security number; any identifying symbol or number; home address; birth date (if under 19); occupation; rate of pay and length of pay period; hours worked each workday and workweek; total daily or weekly straight-time wages; total weekly overtime wages; amount and purpose of additions to or deductions from wages paid each pay period; total wages paid each pay period, date of payment and pay period covered; date of hire; and date of termination. Employees in Hawaii with guaranteed monthly compensation of at least $2,000 are exempt from the recordkeeping requirements.
