HONOLULU–HawaiiUSA Federal Credit Union announced it's increasing its starting pay for entry-level employees to $15 an hour.
The entry level pay at the credit union had been in the $11 an hour range, according to HawaiiNewsNow.
The minimum hourly wage for Hawaii is $10.10 and lawmakers in the state have been considering a bill that would eventually raise the minimum to $15, although it was recently blocked.
“HawaiiUSA has always offered market competitive wages to our staff," Paul Chen, Talent Acquisition Manager, said in a release. "With the increase to $15 per hour, we’ll be providing even more meaningful pay, as well as the tools, training, and benefits necessary to set HawaiiUSA apart from the crowd. We realized early on that our staff are our greatest assets, as well as ambassadors of our core values: service, integrity, unity, and achievement.”
