The Payroll Office is responsible for processing payroll for all campuses within the Â鶹´«Ã½System. New hires, changes, and terminations are submitted to the Payroll Office; actual payments are processed by the State of Hawaii Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS). The Payroll Office works primarily with the personnel officer and administrative officer of the college, school, or department that you are employed by. Personnel and Administrative Officers should contact us in matters relating to employee salary and wage payments and payroll deductions.
Correspondence / checks for employees that the Payroll Office receives from outside agencies or parties are forwarded to Departmental Personnel Officers for distribution to employees.
