Base wage and fringe benefits: $40.43 + $3.95

The base wage is the taxable hourly wage. DLIR prints the fringe benefits as one hourly figure, not itemized; it can go to health, pension, vacation and training plans, or be paid as cash where the state allows.

HRS 104-1/104-2(c) statutory minimum (row has no remark 13)

Work on Saturday, Sunday, a state holiday, or over 8 hours on any other day pays at least 1½ times the basic hourly rate plus fringe benefits at straight time (HRS 104-1; 104-2(c)). DLIR's remark 13 adds double time on listed days for some trades and triple time on Labor Day for others. The dollar figures here are computed from those rules.

When does this rate change?

Hawaii doesn't lock rates at bid. When DLIR raises a rate, the contractor must pay it during the contract, from the date of publication and not retroactively (HRS 104-2(b)(3); HAR 12-22-3(d),(f)).
DLIR issues full schedules on or about February 15 and September 15, plus addenda as needed. This page uses WRS 511 (September 14, 2026) with addenda 512 (September 15) and 513 (October 2). The next full schedule is due on or about February 15, 2027 (DLIR Wage Rate Schedule).
