Does anyone know about Safe travels from Japan to Hawaii, or can I enter Hawaii without safe travels if I have a negative proof of PCR test ？ I have an iPad but no smart phone and don't know how to do it.

We recommend that you check https://travel.hawaii.gov/#/ for the latest information.
If you create an account here and provide the specified information in advance and meet all the requirements,
you will be exempt from quarantine once you enter Hawaii.

Also, depending on whether you are entering Hawaii from the U.S. or Japan, there are different medical facilities designated to obtain negative certification.
Please check the above site.

I also entered Hawaii from Japan last month on a JAL flight, and they had a pre-check service certified by the State of Hawaii.
When I checked in, they confirmed that I had completed the necessary application,
When I arrived at the Honolulu airport, all I had to do was show the stamp from the JAL counter
and the rest was the usual immigration process, followed by luggage pickup.

Similar service seems to be offered by Hawaiian Air.
Not only flights from Japan,
recently a friend of mine flew Hawaiian Air from the mainland to Hawaii, and they also provide the same service for domestic flights within the US.

There is a pre-check service, but it is better to register with the Hawaii Safe Travel website and
enter your travel information in advance.
By the way, I was checked on the day of departure at a place like a branch office of Toho University Hospital at Haneda Airport.


Mr. Ludlow,
I think you can go to the above website and register from Ipad.
If you fulfill all the requirements, you will get a QR code at the end, which I think you can use as a substitute for your smartphone by taking a screencap of it.
You will need to use Safari and take a full screen screenshot.

Ludlow, by the way, will you ever return to Japan after coming to Hawaii ？
Nowadays, a smartphone is required to enter Japan.
If you don't have one, they will ask you to rent one.

All of the above information is current, so
please check the official website yourself.
It is complicated to enter Hawaii and Japan, but please search Youtube for the latest information.

lonsdale, sorry for the delay, I am new to vivinavi. I will be coming from Okinawa, so I will have to take the PCR test at Narita-Haneda airport. There is no Hawaii state designated hospital in Okinawa ． So I would like to take a flight with a connection time of 5 hours or more and do it on my iPad, but I am worried because I have never uploaded, downloaded, learned QR codes, etc. ？ I am not sure if the airline will be able to help me at the airport. Will the airlines help me at the airport I have my own condo if I can get into the country, so no problem.

Mr. ludlow,

Do you mean that you do not have to be exempted from quarantine as long as you can enter the country ？
If so, you can probably get on a plane
with a negative certificate issued by a Hawaii state-licensed medical facility at Haneda ・ Narita. （ This is only a guess. ！ ）
In that case, you must check if the medical institution is accredited by the State of Hawaii.
https://www.allhawaii.jp/covid19/prepare/certificate/


Everyone is a beginner at this. Of course, I have never done it before.
But you can at least register for Safe Travel if you read the instructions.
Here is a video explaining the process. You can also choose Japanese.
https://travel.hawaii.gov/#/

Also, as far as I know, JAL and Hawaiian Airlines offer Safe Travel approval service at their check-in counters.
They seem to be approved by the State of Hawaii.
The following site is Hawaiian Airlines, and they explain in order how to do it.
https://www.hawaiianairlines.co.jp/coronavirus/before-travel
The State of Hawaii's Safe Travel website, which can be accessed from the link above, is also in Japanese, so it is not too difficult.
If you register and enter all the information you know, the airlines mentioned above will probably be able to help you with Uploading the negative certificate and obtaining the QR code.

I took a Hawaii flight from Haneda on JAL and they were quite helpful.
So if you are worried, I would recommend flying with JAL.

I kind of understand what you are trying to say, Topi.
"XX store is looking for someone, but no one is available ？" has come up a lot in the last few months.
But in the end, everyone's answer is, "How much per hour ？ then it's better to get a UI." And that's the end of it.
Although they say that they are in trouble if they don't do this, they don't try hard to find a job because of the good amount of UI money in the immediate future.
I don't know about those who were high-skilled and paid well because I am not around them, but those who were part-timers or belonged to the tourism industry are often like this.
I think this idea will never go away ？ as long as UI's ＄ 300 etc are out there.

Reading this topic, it seems to me that the focus here is on unemployment insurance recipients
rather than trying to get current unemployment insurance recipients to return to work,
I would suggest that employers who are hiring should focus on making further efforts to expand employment beyond those recipients.
If they are already receiving unemployment insurance, they should focus their efforts on expanding employment beyond those who are currently receiving unemployment insurance. If you are already working on this and can't find anyone willing to work for you, that's even worse.
There are many more people with skills and abilities who are looking for work who are not receiving unemployment insurance because they did not meet the requirements for unemployment insurance
for some reason, such as being sick at the time they applied for unemployment insurance, leaving Hawaii, or accidentally leaving before the Corona Disaster
than those who are currently receiving unemployment insurance. There are quite a few people with skills and abilities who do not receive unemployment insurance.
There are various types of people, including those who are able to live on their previous savings, those who are trying to light a fire under their fingernails, and those who
may not be able to afford food, clothing, and shelter at this point.
I think it will be easier to balance supply and demand between those who need people to work and those who want to work.
For example, if you are a restaurant owner, you can offer meals, or if you can afford a room, you can offer live-in work, etc.
I think it is necessary to make efforts to secure good human resources by considering some attractive conditions and benefits as much as possible.

Some of the current unemployment insurance recipients may be thinking TAKE IT EASY, while others may be thinking ahead.
At this point, it is said that PEUC-related unemployment insurance will not be available until the first week of September at the longest, so
it is not something that people around you should be fussing about, since it is your own choice whether you will be the ant or the grasshopper.

#20 Business Owner,

Thank you very much for your sincere response and support. I admire from the bottom of my heart Japanese people like you who are making a great effort to blend in with the local community in the U.S. I am sure that you are doing a great job. I can only imagine how wrenching it must have been for you when you reviewed your management. I am so glad that you were able to pass and successfully receive a PPP loan, which is a payroll compensation program for employers.

The Unemployment Insurance Help Team says that even the UI Office, which is Essential Work, is understaffed. However, in the case of the UI Office, "salary not commensurate with the highly intelligent nature of the work" and "short-term employment" are said to be the biggest reasons for the low application rate.

Hawaii is still far from fully reopening. Not only the tourism industry, but also sports bars, karaoke, movie theaters, and other dense industries have only partially reopened after being permitted to operate. As you know, there has also been news that corona infections may increase again and return to Tier Stage 2.

Unless the corona subsides further with the vaccine, it seems that the employer side, the unemployed side, and the worker side are all stuck and now have no choice but to follow the final decision of the federal government in the White House and the Hawaiian government. You may have already contacted them, but if you want to express your opinion as an employer, it may be useful to contact the Hawaii government representative who has jurisdiction over the area where your employer's business address is located directly and let them know the current situation that is happening at your employer. As for the $300 per week and COBRA free health insurance benefits that are said to be hindering the application rate, I think the federal government will indeed not extend them after September, unless the newly introduced mutant coronavirus spreads and causes a re-lockdown. I think we will see new activity in the job market around that time. Regarding those who are unemployed, as far as I know, the overwhelming majority are experienced and talented people. Thinking about how we can attract them and reinforce human resources may be a new management technique that employers are testing in the current Corona era. In particular, you may want to read past cases of companies that have been very successful in hiring seniors, as they often provide hints.

Rather than lobbying activities that could be misunderstood as pushing people who are unemployed away, I think that an attitude of support and full cooperation for their return to work would attract people to the inside of the business owner who is working hard in local business while contributing to the community.

In any workplace, employees silently watch every aspect of their employers and managers. Especially in the small Hawaiian community, the exchange of information among employees can spread quickly. Loco people also exchange information closely with each other, saying, "Be careful about jobs at this company, because they are outrageous. They exchange information closely with each other. Considering the business owner's future business development, why not refrain from this kind of lobbying? I have read the various voices on this topic, and while the business owner understands the Hawaii unemployment situation due to the Corona blowout, I thought I wrote this with the intention of criticism and flames, but this topic has become a sad composition of "workers vs. unemployed vs. employers" with no one benefiting. As a result, I feel that the true intention of the employer, "I want everyone to think about this for the sake of Hawaii's economy," has become difficult to convey and has led to the opposite effect.

As a personal suggestion, you may have already posted this, but if you are looking for Japanese staff, it would be much more meaningful to lobby your fellow employers to "get the procedures from Vivinavi and post it on the job search board".

Currently, with the ongoing topical discussion on the unemployment insurance program, the number of visits to the BibiNavi site is increasing rapidly, and the probability of unemployed people reading the job search bulletin board is increasing. Before finishing a job posting on the Vivinavi site or Indeed site, if you have friends who are unemployed, interviewing them about what kind of job descriptions they find appealing may be a quick way to increase the application rate.

I also volunteer in the local community when I have time. Let's work hard for each other in hopes of Hawaii's revival. I wish for the continued growth of your company.

Hawaii is full of incompetent Japanese people, so many of them do not have the courage and energy to work in a new place. Most people are satisfied with a shared room and hang on to Hawaii no matter how long they are in a Japanese-owned company with a generous binefit.
There are so many people who only see value in themselves living in Hawaii.
They have no choice but to hang on to their unemployment insurance.
They are incompetent.
It's a sad state of affairs.

To everyone reading this topic,

Nice to meet you. My name is sunset and I have been helping those who are unemployed in the topic about "PEUC Unemployment Insurance Extension Program". I have read the various voices on this topic and would like to share my thoughts. Please forgive me for the length of this message. I myself once experienced unemployment and am now back to work. I have also been an employer in the past. I have a reasonable understanding of the struggles and perplexities of those who are unemployed, those who are working, and those who are employers.

Several of the loco unemployment insurance help team who back me up are still unemployed in the tourism industry and the rest are working short or full time. One of them is a mother with three small children.

All of the Unemployment Insurance Help Team are highly intelligent enough to decipher the White House Federal Corona Bailout Bill overnight, which is so difficult to phrase that even English speakers cannot read it. I am the only one who cannot read the bailout bill, and I have asked them to explain it to me and provide information on this exchange square as needed.

First of all, I would like to express my deepest and most sincere thanks to those of you who have been working for Essential Companies since the Corona lockdown without receiving unemployment insurance benefits. It is because of your work that we are able to eat, shelter, and clothe ourselves safely.

I would like to talk about the unemployment insurance due to this corona impact. If you ask me, the UI office was really in a bad situation this time to the point of losing my temper. The Hawaiian Time excuse is just not working: the information sharing between the UI director and the field staff is ear-splittingly dysfunctional, and the advice from the call center consultation service is disjointed. Furthermore, the UI system is a 1980's version with many errors. Errors still occur even now.

The English-speaking locals, who are swamped by such a UI office, are in a panic, having lost their jobs and being forced to pay tomorrow's bills. The Japanese people were many times more panicked. If the UI office had been more solid, there would not have been so many unemployment insurance topics in this exchange square.

There are so many different types of people receiving unemployment insurance, as well as those who are working and their employers. I am convinced that those who have read and worked hard on my vastly increasing advice and those who have generously provided information are those who have worked diligently even before Corona. Through the dozens of personal consulting e-mails I received every day last year, I can now easily recognize them by their writing style.

These people are serious about their lives, and when the time comes, they have already thought about the best course of action without needing anyone else to tell them. Even locals are in a panic about unemployment insurance, so it doesn't matter if you can speak English or not. It all comes down to the attitude of "Are you going to take it seriously as a party or not?

Also, among those who have become totally unemployed, the more diligently they have worked at what they believe is their vocation, and the more they have worked at a place they love, the longer it will take for their emotional damage to heal. Those who have been temporarily laid off also carry the anxiety of not knowing what will happen tomorrow. The pressure is unimaginable, especially for those who have to support their families.

Therefore, I believe that the generous unemployment insurance includes "psychological recovery money" for those who have been laid off without saying whether they want to or not after being hit hard by the Corona impact. If they spend a great deal of that recovery money on shopping, eating, and drinking, the sales will spread to essential companies. For example, if you shop for vegetables at the supermarket, those sales will help the supermarket, the supplier, and the farmer. As a side note, the restaurant cards distributed to the unemployed saved many in the restaurant and distribution industry, and many in the restaurant industry are still clamoring for the restaurant card to be reissued.

Without this unemployment insurance benefit, the overall consumption rate in Hawaii would drop dramatically, and both the worker and employer sides of the essential companies would fall together. And public safety would deteriorate even further, and the Hawaiian economy could irreparably collapse. Right now, I think we are on the verge of a major collapse.

The people who should be criticized the most are the unemployed people who intentionally received unemployment insurance benefits through out-of-state residency, identity theft, and illegal activities and still have not confessed. The UI office is most to blame for not doing their due diligence in awarding the benefits, but as the news has shown, the illegal activity has resulted in the waste of hundreds of millions of dollars in Hawaii's unemployment insurance funds. This illegal activity will later affect the unemployment insurance taxes that each company pays each year. I won't go into details, but last year, I received several harassing e-mails from some of the people who committed illegal acts in the Bibi Navi Exchange Plaza. As a fellow Japanese, I am very ashamed of this story.

Finally. I would like to tell those who are unemployed, those who are working, and those who are employers. Each person has his/her own circumstances and background that others do not understand. I don't think anyone has the right to judge one way or the other unless they are fully aware of those circumstances and backgrounds.

Rocco's Unemployment Insurance Help Team actually reads this exchange square every day using a translation site. Imagine how they feel when they read this topical issue, as they are the most important people with a helping mindset.

And if Hawaii, where we are allowed to live, is to be restored, please reconsider what you can do for Hawaii and those close to you.

PS:
I deeply agree with CLOSE UP's thoughts. If we continue to criticize each other like this, we will only be laughed at by non-Hawaii residents, so it is time for those of us who care about Hawaii to CLOSE up our posts on this topic.

[Online ceremony consultation appointments]

We are pleased to share a share of an article about online ceremony consultation appointments.
↓
https://www.staradvertiser.com/2021/04/06/hawaii-news/kokua-line/kokua-line-some-jobless-with-pending-claims-will-have-appointments-for-help-canceled/

According to the Unemployment Insurance Help Team, online consultations are handled by staff other than Examiners and Adjusters. Therefore, as mentioned in the article, if you have an appointment with an Examiner or Adjuster for an Overpayment or Pending consultation that requires their approval, the appointment will be cancelled later on.

In other words, it seems to be similar to the image of a "call center turned online".

They are currently only accepting reservations for 84 slots. Currently, only 84 slots are available. I tried to open the system to see how it works, but as I expected, there was a huge competition and the slots were filled years in advance.

My personal impression is that it is faster to contact the call center patiently than to wait forever for an online consultation appointment slot to become available.

We recommend that you voluntarily confirm with your employer that your labor reports match, as there have been many happenings involving unreported labor reports by employers for pay and bonuses.

Regarding severance pay, if the payment is received before the official resignation date or official termination date, it must be labor reported. If it is credited later, there is no need to labor report.

I'm not in a very good situation either, but I'm going to stay here for a little while longer. I have a dog, you know. Once I'm in a position to return home, that would be a good option.
