Human Trafficking Poster

   As of January 1, 2014,  Act 245, Session Laws of Hawaii 2013, requires certain employers to post a notice to employees about help for Human Trafficking.  The poster can be found on the DLIR website here. The National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline is 1-888-373-7888.

   The types of employers that are required to post this poster include employers who:

1.  Hold a class 5 or class 11 liquor license pursuant to section 281—31, Hawaii Revised Statutes;
2.  Maintain a massage therapy establishment that employs five or more people; or
3. Employ one or more erotic or nude massagers or erotic or nude dancers as defined in section 712—1210, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

  Act 245 also includes a penalty in the amount of $100 a day for employers who violate this requirement.  This penalty is a civil action.  The Act is now codified at section 371-20, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
