2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 21. Labor and Industrial Relations|383. Hawaii Employment Security Law|383-69 Procedure for rate determination.

  §383-69 Procedure for rate determination. The department of labor and industrial relations, as soon as is reasonably possible in each period, shall make its classification of employers for the period and notify each employer of the employer's rate of contributions for the period as determined pursuant to sections 383-63 to 383-69. The determination shall become conclusive and binding upon the employer unless the employer appeals the determination by filing a written notice of appeal within fifteen days after the mailing of notice of the determination to the employer's last known address. The appeal shall be heard by the referee in accordance with applicable provisions of sections 383-38 and 383-39 but no employer shall have standing, in any proceeding involving the employer's rate of contributions or contribution liability, to contest the chargeability to the employer's account of any benefits paid in accordance with a determination, redetermination, or decision pursuant to sections 383-31 to 383-43; provided that the services on the basis of which the benefits were found to be chargeable did not constitute services performed in employment for the employer and only if the employer was not a party to the determination, redetermination, or decision, or to any other proceedings under this chapter in which the character of the services was determined. The referee's determination shall become final unless a proceeding for judicial review in the manner provided in chapter 91 is commenced in the circuit court of the judicial circuit in which the employer resides or has the employer's principal place of business or in the circuit court of the first judicial circuit. An appeal may be taken from the decision of the circuit court to the intermediate appellate court, subject to chapter 602. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the director shall for calendar years 2021 and 2022 modify the annual computation to omit benefits charged for all employers to address the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021 Hawaii Revised Statutes|Title 21. Labor and Industrial Relations|383. Hawaii Employment Security Law|383-70 Contributions; levy; returns; assessments.

  §383-70 Contributions; levy; returns; assessments. (a) Contributions are hereby levied against employers as provided in this chapter. Except as may be provided to the contrary in accordance with such regulations as the department of labor and industrial relations may prescribe, contributions shall be paid quarterly on or before the last day of the month succeeding the last month of each quarter.  (b) Each employer shall make at the time and in the manner prescribed by the department a full, true, and correct report with respect to the wages paid by the employer, which report shall contain other information as may be prescribed by the department. For each calendar quarter beginning July 1, 1988, such report shall include wage information for each employee in accordance with such rules as the department may prescribe. The report shall be made by the employer even though the employer is not required to pay contributions.  (c) If any return filed is erroneous, or is so deficient as not to disclose the full liability, or if the employer disclaims liability for contributions with respect to any wages upon which contributions are required to be paid, the department shall assess the correct amount of contributions and shall notify the employer thereof; and if any employer fails, neglects, or refuses to make a return, the department shall proceed as it deems best to obtain information on which to base the assessment of contributions and shall assess the same and notify the employer thereof. The amount so assessed shall be paid on the twenty-first day after the notice was mailed, properly addressed to the employer at the employer's last known place of business.  (d) Notices of assessment of contributions, records of contributions assessed and payments thereon, and delinquent contributions lists showing unpaid contributions assessed against any employer shall be prima facie proof of the assessment of the person assessed, the amount of contributions due and unpaid, and the delinquency in payment, and that all requirements of law in relation to the assessment of the contributions have been complied with.  (e) If the department determines that any reason exists why the collection of any contributions accrued will be jeopardized by delaying collection, it may make an immediate assessment thereof and the director of labor and industrial relations may proceed to enforce collection immediately, but interest shall not begin to accrue upon any contributions until the date when such contributions would normally have become delinquent.

  §383-73 Penalty for delinquency; remission. (a) A penalty of ten per cent or $100, whichever is greater, shall be added to the amount of all delinquent contributions, as hereafter defined, and any delinquent contribution and penalty remaining unpaid fifteen days after the date of delinquency shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the rate of two-thirds of one per cent for each month or fraction of a month until paid. Any penalty and interest assessed pursuant to this section shall be added to the contribution and shall be collected as a part of the contribution. For the purposes of this section, a contribution shall be deemed delinquent:  (1) Upon a nonpayment thereof on the date prescribed for its payment, but only in case of failure to pay a contribution shown due by a return, or in case of failure to file a return, or in case of failure to pay a contribution because of a false or fraudulent return; and  (2) Upon nonpayment thereof within the time provided by subsection (c) of section 383-70, in any other case.  (b) Except in cases of fraud or wilful violation of this chapter, or wilful refusal to make a return, the director may, in a case of excusable failure to file a return, or pay a contribution within the time required by this chapter, or in a case of uncollectibility of the whole amount due, remit any amount of penalties or interest added to any delinquent contribution; provided that a claim of nonliability shall not be deemed as a refusal to make a return.  (c) The department shall keep a record of any remittance approved by the director.  (d) Whenever an employer makes a partial payment of a sum owed for delinquent contributions, penalties, and interest, the amount received by the director shall first be credited to interest, then to penalties, and then to principal.
