Substitute teachers play a vital role in Hawai‘i’s public schools, stepping in to ensure students continue learning when their regular teachers are absent. Whether you’re covering for a day or taking on longer assignments, substitute teaching is a rewarding way to make a difference in students’ lives while maintaining a flexible schedule.

A passing score is 80% or higher. All substitute teacher recertifications are valid for five years.

Empleo posterior a la jubilación

The State of Hawaiʻi Employees’ Retirement System (ERS) is a qualified retirement plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Generally, the code prohibits the distribution of retirement benefits prior to an employee’s retirement. To help clarify when a retiree may be reemployed without suspension of benefits, a state law was passed in 2010.

A retiree can be employed into a casual position if the retiree has had a six-consecutive-calendar-month break (from their official retirement date), without being employed by any state or county agency. Casual employment includes all certificated and classified casual jobs, including all substitute employment, coaching, 89-day hires and temporary contract employees.

Un jubilado puede ser empleado en un puesto contratado identificado como de escasez de mano de obra o de difícil cobertura si el jubilado ha tenido una pausa de 12 meses calendario consecutivos (a partir de su fecha oficial de jubilación), sin ser empleado por ninguna agencia estatal o del condado.

A retiree can be employed as a teacher or administrator in a teacher shortage area identified by the Department or in a charter school or as a mentor for a new classroom teacher if the retiree has had a 12-consecutive-calendar-month break (from their official retirement date).

Nota: La ley prohíbe la recontratación de un jubilado si se acordaron acuerdos previos para su recontratación antes de su jubilación. Los infractores podrán tener que:

• Reembolsar todos los beneficios de pensión recibidos durante el período o períodos de recontratación (más los intereses).
• Pagar cualquier contribución al sistema de jubilación (más los intereses) que de otro modo se hubiera pagado durante el período o períodos de recontratación.
• Ser responsable de pagar todos los gastos administrativos incurridos para abordar la situación si se determina que el jubilado tiene la culpa.
