The State of Hawaii Payroll Modernization Project’s (also known as HawaiiPay) third phase is being implemented in the coming weeks. All Department of Education (DOE) employees, including those on leaves of absence and substitute employees, will need to take action related to the implementation of the State’s new payroll system, known as the Hawaii Information Portal (HIP).
ACTION REQUIRED: Employees will need to log in on the HIP Employee Self-Service (ESS) between Dec. 3 and Dec. 14 and enter their direct deposit information.
Charter school employees who receive their pay through DOE payroll services will also need to enter their information on the HIP.
