It is well established now under federal Title VII law that an employer is liable for actionable sexual harassment caused by a supervisor with “immediate (or successively higher) authority over the employee.”  However, in cases where the employee does not suffer a “tangible employment action,” such as discharge, demotion, or an unfavorable reassignment, there is an affirmative defense that an employer may raise to avoid Title VII liability and damages.  

Under such affirmative defense whether an employer has an anti-harassment policy is relevant evidence.  Also important is effective supervisory training and training of employees on the harassment policy and complaint procedure.

Training and educational programs for all employees take on an even higher degree of importance under Hawaii state law, HRS Chapter 378.  State law currently is interpreted by the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission (“HCRC”) as mandating strict liability for sexual harassment committed by supervisors. 

While the Hawaii Supreme Court has not addressed the HCRC’s interpretation of HRS Chapter 378 a recent Illinois Supreme Court decision upheld a Illinois Human Rights Commission ruling addressing a regulation similar to the HCRC’s–that an employer was strictly liable for a supervisor’s harassing conduct under Illinois state law even though the supervisor did not even have direct supervisory authority over the Complainant.

The April 16, 2009 Illinois decision will certainly be persuasive authority to a Hawaii Supreme Court faced with interpreting the HCRC’s regulation.  Accordingly, it is critical that Hawaii employers understand the importance of having an effective policy and company-wide training program on not only a defense to a sexual harassment claim, but prevention.

A.                The Faragher/Ellerth Defense

Having an effective sexual harassment policy and training program will greatly increase the chance of avoiding liability under the affirmative defense for sexual harassment claims recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court in Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998) (“Faragher”) and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth, 523 U.S. 742 (1998) (“Ellerth”). 

Where alleged harassment by a supervisor does not culminate in an adverse (“tangible”) employment decision, the employer may avoid liability by showing that: (1) the employer exercised reasonable care to prevent and promptly correct any harassing behavior; and (2) the plaintiff unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the employer to avoid harm.  “A tangible employment action constitutes a significant change in employment status such as hiring, firing, failing to promote, reassignment with significantly different responsibilities or a decision causing a significant change in benefits.”  Ellerth, supra.

The importance of the Faragher/Ellerth defense was significantly increased by the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Pennsylvania State Police v. Suders, 542 U.S. 129 (2004), which held that the defense is available in constructive discharge cases unless the plaintiff quits in a reasonable response to an employer-sanctioned adverse action of an official nature, such as a demotion or a cut in pay.

A zero-tolerance harassment policy must fit the environment and employees.  The Ellerth court stated:

While proof that an employer had promulgated an antiharassment policy with complaint procedure is not necessary in every instance as a matter of law, the need for a stated policy suitable to the employment circumstances may appropriately be addressed in any case when litigating the first element of the defense.  The policy should be written in plain English, so that all employees regardless of their educational level or background can understand it … [a] policy should include a clear and precise definition of unlawful harassment so that employees know what type of conduct is prohibited by the policy and will be able to recognize that conduct should it occur.

Accordingly, if the alleged harasser has supervisory authority over the victim, the employer will be held automatically liable for any harassment committed by the supervisor unless the employer is able to successfully raise the affirmative defense. 

B.        Tips On Drafting a Zero-Tolerance Policy and Complaint Procedure. 

(1)               Write in simple English.

(2)               Include a clear definition and examples of prohibited conduct and make it broad enough to prohibit all forms of harassment.

(3)               State the company’s “zero-tolerance” philosophy in the policy regarding all forms of harassment,

(4)               Designate at least two specially trained managers who will be responsible for investigating harassment complaints for the company. 

(5)               Determine the complaint procedure that will be used to investigate complaints of harassment by supervisory employees, co-workers and outsiders. 

(6)               Provide a “clear chain of communication,” allowing employees to step outside of the normal hierarchy in the event the supervisor is the harasser and consider having a toll-free number employees can call.

(7)               State that employees who report prohibited conduct will be protected from retaliation.

(8)               State that the employer will promptly investigate the matter in an objective and discrete manner.

(9)               Provide the form of disciplinary action to which offenders can expect to be subjected.

(10)           State that the employer will also take remedial action.

(11)           Train your management employees and line employees on the policy and procedure. 

(12)           Have each employee sign an acknowledgment form that they have received a copy of the policy and procedure, and that they have received training on the harassment policy.

C.        The Faragher/Ellerth Defense and Hawaii Law

Like Title VII, the Hawaii Employment Practices Act prohibits discriminating against individuals in virtually all aspects of employment.  However, it remains an open question whether an employer, under Hawaii state law, can assert the Faragher/Ellerth affirmative defense. 

Currently, under regulations promulgated by the HCRC, the state agency charged with the enforcing and interpreting Hawaii’s Employment Practices Act, strict liability would apply to a supervisor’s harassment of a subordinate regardless of whether tangible action is taken:

§12-46-109 Sexual harassment.

(a)        Harassment on the basis of sex is a violation of chapter 378, HRS. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or visual forms of harassment of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:

(1)        Submission to that conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment; or

(2)        Submission to or rejection of that conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting that individual; or

(3)        That conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

(b)        In determining whether alleged conduct constitutes sexual harassment, the commission will look at the record as a whole and at the totality of the circumstances, such as the nature of the sexual advances and the context in which the alleged incidents occurred. The determination of the legality of a particular action will be made from the facts, on a case by case basis.

(c)        An employer shall be responsible for its acts and those of its agents and supervisory employees with respect to sexual harassment regardless of whether the specific acts complained of were authorized or even forbidden, and regardless of whether the employer or other covered entity knew or should have known of their occurrence. The commission will examine the circumstances of the particular employment relationship and the job functions performed by the individual in determining whether an individual acted in either a supervisory or agency capacity.

(d)       With respect to conduct between employees, an employer shall be responsible for acts of sexual harassment in the workplace where the employer or its agents or supervisory employees knows or should have known of the conduct and fails to take immediate and appropriate corrective action. An employee who has been sexually harassed on the job by a co-worker should inform the employer, its agent, or supervisory employee of the harassment; however, an employee’s failure to give such notice may not be an affirmative defense.

D.        Problem Areas for Employers

* Inadequate complaint procedure

* Failure to disseminate policy

* Employer on notice of harassment

 * Failure to promptly investigate

 * Failure to take appropriate disciplinary action

 * Failure to apply it even-handedly

 * Failure to review and revise when necessary

 * Failure to provide training

E.         Illinois Supreme Court Decision a Foreshadowing of Hawaii Law?

In Sangamon Cty Sheriff’s Dep’t v. The Illinois Human Rights Comm’n, Nos. 105517, 105518 cons. (Ill. Apr. 16, 2009), decided on April 16, 2009, the Illinois Supreme Court gave the HCRC direct support of the HCRC’s own interpretation of HRS Chapter 378.

The Sangamon decision holds Illinois employers strictly liable for sexual harassment by any of their management or supervisory personnel, and, as noted by the dissent, “imposes a standard of liability which appears to be without precedent in any jurisdiction of the United States.”

In that case employee Feleccia filed a sexual harassment claim against employer Sangamon County Sheriff’s Department and Ron Yanor, who was a supervisor, but was not Feleccia’s direct supervisor.  The Illinois Human Rights Commission ruled that the Sheriff’s Department was strictly liable for Yanor’s conduct under the Act because Yanor was a supervisor. The Illinois appellate court reversed, and Feleccia and the Commission appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court.

The Illinois Supreme Court reversed and confirmed the Commission’s decision. In a 4-2 ruling, the Illinois Supreme Court agreed that the Sheriff’s Department could be held strictly liable in such circumstances.  The basis of the decision was the plain and ordinary meaning of the statute, which states that “an employer shall be responsible for sexual harassment of the employer’s employees by nonemployees or nonmanagerial and nonsupervisory employees only if the employer becomes aware of the conduct and fails to take reasonable corrective measures.”

According to the Court, the statute is unambiguous” and only excludes “nonemployees” and “nonmanagerial or nonsupervisory employees” from its strict liability standard.  As such, the Court found “[t]here is no language in the Act that limits the employer’s liability based on the harasser’s relationship to the victim.”  The Court rejected the employer’s argument that federal case law should apply to the case.

Of course, in Hawaii the HCRC has merely interpreted HRS Chapter 378’s statutory language to impose strict liability for supervisory harassment.  Unlike the Illinois statute interpreted by the Illinois Supreme Court it is reasonable to argue that Hawaii statutory law is ambiguous and not straightforward. 

Nevertheless, the HCRC is charged with the interpretation and enforcement of HRS Chapter 378 and it does not bode well for Hawaii employers that another state’s high court is willing to impose what some would consider harsh penalties on the employer defendant.  Accordingly, employers in Hawaii should redouble its efforts to train supervisors AND employees regularly on preventing discrimination and harassment in the workplace.  Training should include the consequences of violating company policy.

Training employees reduces the likelihood that inappropriate conduct will be engaged in or tolerated at a level that can create a hostile environment.  See Arquero v. Hilton Hawaiian Village, 104 Hawai’i 423, 91 P.3d 505 (2004) (coworker pinched buttocks of the plaintiff on two occasions); Nelson v. University of Hawai’i, 97 Hawai’i 376, 38 P.3d 95 (2001) (verbal harassment).

Second, in the event that inappropriate conduct takes place, employees who are offended will be substantially more likely to use the employer’s complaint procedure, thereby permitting the employer to remedy the situation and avoid having a lawsuit filed against it.

Lastly, training is a tool for prevention and reducing the potential of supervisory harassment.

A.        Training as a Tool for Prevention

The EEOC’s Policy Guidance on Sexual Harassment states:

An employer should ensure that its supervisors and managers understand their responsibilities under the organization’s anti-harassment policy and complaint procedure. Periodic training of those individuals can help achieve that result.  Such training should explain the types of conduct that violate the employer’s anti-harassment policy; the seriousness of the policy; the responsibilities of supervisors and managers when they learn of alleged harassment; and the prohibition against retaliation.

The HCRC regulations state that “prevention is the best tool for the elimination of sexual harassment.  Employers should affirmatively raise the subject, express strong disapproval, develop appropriate sanctions, inform employees of their right to raise and how to raise the issue of sexual harassment, and take any other steps necessary to prevent sexual harassment from occurring.”  §12-46-109(g).

As part of its settlements against employers, the EEOC and HCRC have chosen mandatory training as one of its primary responses through the use of consent decrees requiring organizations to conduct training and ensure policy compliance.

In 2004, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1825, requiring all employers with fifty or more employees to conduct compulsory sexual harassment training for all of its supervisory employees by January of 2006, thus supporting the EEOC and HCRC’s position that training and education is the best tool for prevention.  Under the California law, the training must re-occur every two years, and all new supervisors brought in after the original round of training must go through the program within six months of their arrival. 

Managers who are aware of the implications of sexual harassment may be less likely to take official action they realize will create vicarious liability for the organization – this may preserve the employer’s right to the Faragher/Ellerth affirmative defense in a case of constructive discharge.  Further, managers who are aware of how to proceed with complaints from employees about harassment are more likely to intervene with an appropriate employer response thus making a stronger showing under the first prong of the Faragher/Ellerth affirmative defense.

Finally, as noted throughout this article training can be an effective tool to combat inappropriate behavior by supervisors and to reduce risks under state law—especially to the extent it is interpreted similar to the Illinois Supreme Court’s decision.

B.                 Training and the Faragher/Ellerth Defense

Conducting training will greatly increase the chance of avoiding liability under the Faragher/Ellerth affirmative defense.  The importance of this defense was significantly increased by the Suders decision, which held that the defense is available in constructive discharge cases unless the plaintiff quits in a reasonable response to an employer-sanctioned adverse action of an official nature, such as a demotion or a cut in pay.

The training of rank and file employees should be documented and if it is to be conducted on a regular basis, can include a certification by the employee that he or she has not been subject to any policy violations since the last training.

C.        Training and Damages Issues Under Hawaii Law

Generally, individuals cannot be found liable for violations under federal law.  Under Hawaii law, however, courts may award unlimited punitive and compensatory damages. 

Significantly, unlike under Title VII individuals can be held liable for violations of Hawaii’s Employment Practices Act.  See HRS §378-1 (defining “employer” to include “any person”) and §378-2 (3) (making it unlawful for any “person” to “aid, abet, incite, compel, or coerce the doing of any of the discriminatory practices forbidden by this part, or to attempt to do so.”); Schefke v. Reliable Collection Agency, 96 Hawai’i 408; 32 P.3d 52, 93-94 (2001) (holding individuals may be found liable under Hawai’i Employment Practices law).

Thus, training employees may alert them to the financial risks they take when they engage in behaviors prohibited by Hawaii law.

D.        Training to Reduce Exposure to Punitive Damages

In Kolstad v. American Dental Association, the Court held that “in the punitive damages context, an employer may not be vicariously liable for the discriminatory employment decisions of managerial agents where these decisions are contrary to the employer’s ‘good-faith efforts to comply with Title VII.’”  Accordingly, compliance efforts are both necessary and sufficient to avoid liability for punitive damages.

Airlines that Fly to Hawaii

The loss of ATA and Aloha in 2008, coupled with the recession, had dramatically impacted Hawaii’s tourism industry.   2008 was one of the worst years for the travel industry in Hawaii.  But that’s beginning to change.  The number of airlines that fly to Hawaii is growing.  Airlines that fly to Hawaii are adding new routes.

Allegiant plans to fly to Hawaii from smaller cities on the US mainland starting in late 2010.  Alaska has recently expanded their routes to Hawaii.  Hawaiian Airlines has expanded routes to the US mainland, including a direct Maui to Las Vegas flight, as well as adding new direct flights to Japan and South Korea later this year.  Hawaiian also introduced service to the Philippines earlier this year.

Hawaiian will begin their service to Haneda Airport in Japan beginning in November.  Because they will be flying out of Haneda, which is in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it is believed they will have an advantage over most other carriers that have to operate out of Narita, which is a 90 minute to 2 hour commute away.  Hawaiian plans to launch their service to Seoul, South Korea in January 2011.

]]>

All this means good news for Hawaii’s number one industry.  When the number of airlines that fly to Hawaii grows and when routes expand, they inevitably lower the prices for air fares.  This in turn, simulates demand for travel, and when more people travel to Hawaii, it increases the amount of tourist dollars spent in the state for hotel rooms, car rentals, taxis, restaurants, souvenirs and so forth.

Unlike other mainland tourist destination areas on the mainland, like Orlando, Anaheim or Las Vegas, where travelers can arrive by the millions by car, Hawaii, because it is situated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, is highly dependent on air travel for tourism dollars.  So the state is heavily reliant on the airlines that fly to Hawaii.  Currently, the airlines that fly to Hawaii from the US mainland include:  Hawaiian, United, American, Delta, Alaska, US Airways and soon, Allegiant.

Allegiant will be an interesting addition to the current group of airlines that fly to Hawaii.  Allegiant principally serves smaller markets in the US.  The company focuses on flying those who live in those markets to key tourist destinations areas like Orlando, South Florida, Las Vegas and soon Hawaii. Examples of some of the smaller markets now served by Allegiant include:  Stockton, California; Eugene, Oregon; Bozeman, Montana; Medford, Oregon and Wichita, Kansas.  Allegiant offers a different approach from other airlines in that they place a great deal of emphasis on selling complete travel packages.  So far, Allegiant’s business model has proven to be effective and their expansion into the Hawaii market is further validation of that success.

The state is also hoping to expand the number of international carriers serving Hawaii.  Airlines that fly to Hawaii from international locations include:  Air Canada, Westjet, All Nippon Airways, Japan Airlines, China Air, Korean Air, Philippines Air, Air New Zealand and Qantas.  The State of Hawaii has been actively recruiting airlines in China to fly to Hawaii.  It was hoped that Hainan Airlines, the largest private carrier in China, would establish a direct route to Hawaii, but the plans fell through.  It’s been reported that the State as well as number of carriers continue to explore opportunities to establish a lucrative Hawaii to China direct route.

Question by : What year did Hawaii stop using the long form birth certificate as the official certificate?
Hawaii officially uses the short form certificate but can anyone tell me how long that has been the case?

Best answer:

Answer by jwthoughts
They didn’t unless it was in the last 4 years as my great grandson was born in Hawaii 4 years ago and my granddaughter received a long form birth certificate.

PennyLee…It was not the souvenir. It was the official document with the state seal and no, it did not have the foot prints. Since the whole Obama debacle, I have looked at it, contacted officials in Hawaii, and confirmed what it is and its authenticity.

I find it ironic that the also “confirmed” that the BC that Obama had posted on line was supposedly all that they did at the time, but today they released the “long form” that according to them about a year ago, did not exist…that they did not have two different forms.

Sorry, but the state of Hawaii lied for Obama, and now it is escalating and their lies are being exposed.

When it comes to planning a vacation, whether that vacation is a family trip or a romantic getaway, it is sometimes difficult to choose a vacation destination. There are, literally, an unlimited number of destinations, all around the world, that would make great vacation destinations, so many that it may be difficult for you to make a final decision. Before making your decision, it is important that you examine each of your vacation destination options and what they can do for you. Regardless of what you are looking for, there is a good chance that Hawaii will come up on your list of possible vacation destinations. If so, it may be time to examine if a Hawaii vacation is right for you.

The best way to decide whether or not a Hawaii vacation is right for you is to examine Hawaii vacations, as a whole, and what they can do for you. For instance, you will likely find that Hawaii vacations are fun filled. They are fun filled because, no matter which Hawaiian Island you choose to visit, you are sure to be greeted with an unlimited number of activities. These activities may include shopping, elegant dining, boat tours, mountain hikes, as well as beachside activities. So, if you are looking for a fun way to spend your next vacation, a Hawaiian vacation may be just what you need.

As previously mentioned, Hawaii is made up of numerous islands. When it comes to tourism, a large number of tourists enjoy visiting Hawaii’s Big Island, Lanai, Maui, Molokai, Oahu, and Kauai. While it may be a good idea to focus on one particular island, you don’t necessarily have to. With the recent spike in tourism, a number of travel companies have started making it easier and more affordable to travel from island to island. Essentially, this means that you may not want to focus just on one Hawaii Island. Hawaii vacations are great, even if you just visit one island, but they may be even better if you choose to visit more than one island. In fact, doing so may make it appear as if you are on a whole other vacation!

]]>

In addition to the particular island or islands that you would like to visit, you will also have a number of other choices to make. One of those choices is where you would like to stay. In Hawaii, on all of the different islands, you will find that you can choose to stay in a traditional hotel, at a resort, or at a vacation rental. If you are looking for easy access, to a number of different activities and attractions, you may prefer to stay at a Hawaii hotel or resort. If peace, quite, and privacy is more your style, it may be a good idea to stay at Hawaii vacation rental, particularly one that is somewhat secluded. Essentially, this means that whether you are looking for easy access to the attractions that you want to visit or if you are looking for seclusion, Hawaii has exactly what you are looking for.

The weather is also a factor, when it comes to choosing a vacation destination. If you are looking for beautiful weather, as well as warm temperatures, you will find exactly what you are looking for in Hawaii. In fact, the weather is one of the reasons why Hawaii vacations come so highly recommended. Whether you plan a Hawaii vacation in the winter months or in the summer, you are sure to be greeted with warm, but not too warm temperatures. The temperatures during the summertime are regularly in the eighties, with temperatures consistently in the seventies during the winter months. So, if you are looking for beautiful, but comfortable weather, a Hawaii vacation can give you just want you want, as well as what you need.
