HRS §431:12-108
When an employer fails to send in premiums
If an employer must collect insurance premiums from employees and send them to the insurer, the insurer cannot treat the employee as not paying unless the insurer first tells the employee in writing. The employee then has a chance to pay the premium by a certain deadline.
