Resignation Letter in Hawaii
A simple resignation letter you can adapt for immediate resignation or a longer notice period. Your state's final-paycheck and PTO-payout rules are shown below.
What Hawaii law says
| Final paycheck if you quit | By the next regular payday (by mail if the employee asks). If the employee gave at least one pay period's notice, all wages are due at the time of quitting. Source: HRS § 388-3(b) |
|---|---|
| Unused vacation / PTO payout | Not required by statute; it depends on the employer's policy. Employers must give employees their vacation and sick leave policies in writing or by posted notice. Hawaii courts have held that unused vacation pay is not 'wages' under the wage payment law. |
