Alaska Wage and Hour Act

Alaska · Labor and Workers' Compensation · §§ 23.10.015 to 23.10.699 · 73 sections

Overview

The act sets baseline employment standards for wages and working conditions, establishing a minimum wage, premium pay for overtime, and a paid sick leave benefit, together with rules on how and where wages must be paid, deposits and benefit-fund contributions, and restrictions on the employment of children. It exempts certain categories of work and workers — including bona fide executive, administrative, and professional employees — and separately bars practices such as requiring lie-detector tests and making false representations to recruit workers. Administration rests with a state labor standards division authorized to adopt regulations, require recordkeeping and posted notice of the law, and issue subpoenas, while workers retain a private right of action, with attorney fees, injunctive enforcement, a limitations period, and penalties for violations.
