Haw. Code R. § 12-46-134 - Employee selection
(a) It is unlawful
for an employer or other covered entity to discriminate in employment by giving
preference because of age. Thus, if two people of different ages apply for the
same position, the employer or other covered entity may not lawfully turn down
either one on the basis of age but shall make the decision on the basis of some
other factor.
(b) Nothing in this
section shall be construed to preclude an employer from selecting from among
all applicants an individual who is in fact better qualified for a position
over one who is less qualified or from hiring an individual on the basis of
experience and training superior to other applicants.
