Employment lawyers in Kailua-Kona help workers and employers with issues like wage disputes, discrimination, and wrongful termination. Hawaii law provides specific protections under the Hawaii Employment Practices Act, which covers employers with one or more employees.

What Does a Employment Lawyer in Kailua-Kona Cost?
Employment lawyers in Hawaii typically charge between $250 and $500 per hour. Some offer flat fees for specific services like contract review.

Initial consultations may be free or cost a reduced fee. This is general information and not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline to file a discrimination claim in Hawaii?
In Hawaii, you must file a discrimination charge with the Hawaii Civil Rights Commission within 180 days of the alleged violation. This deadline is shorter than the federal 300-day limit for some claims. Missing this deadline can bar your claim.
Can an employer in Hawaii fire me without a reason?
Hawaii is an at-will employment state, meaning an employer can terminate you for any reason that is not illegal. However, you cannot be fired for discriminatory reasons, retaliation, or in violation of an employment contract. A lawyer can help determine if your termination was unlawful.
What are Hawaii's wage and hour laws?
Hawaii's minimum wage is currently $14.00 per hour as of 2024, with scheduled increases to $18.00 by 2028. Employers must pay overtime at 1.5 times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Hawaii law also requires meal and rest breaks for most workers.
