Civil Service Classification

Civil Service positions at the University of Hawai‘i are part of the State Merit System, and are administered by Title 14 of Hawai‘i Administrative Rules, pertaining to The State Department of Human Resources Development (DHRD). Title 14 applies to all Civil Service positions and all incumbents in these positions, provided they are not in conflict with provisions of applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA’s). Title 14 does not apply to positions exempt from the Hawai‘i Administrative Rules, as determined by the Director of DHRD.

Civil Service positions include a variety of occupations relating to clerical, library support, property protection, nursing, general labor, custodial, trades, and equipment operation. The System Office of Human Resources is delegated authority to classify civil service positions.

DHRD maintains the Class Specifications and Minimum Qualification Requirements and Compensation Plan for the State of Hawaiʻi.
