HAR §12-57-10. Withdrawal of complaint
Cite as Haw. Code R. § 12-57-10
Enforcement of the provisions of
section 396-8(e), HRS, is not only a matter of protecting rights of
individual employees, but also of public interest.
Attempts by an employee
to withdraw a previously filed complaint will not necessarily result in the
termination of the director's investigation.
The director's jurisdiction
shall not be foreclosed as a matter of law by the unilateral action of the
employee.
However, a voluntary and uncoerced request from a complainant to
withdraw the complaint will be given careful consideration as a matter of
policy and sound enforcement procedure.
