Understanding Alaska Overtime Law

Daily Overtime After 8 Hours

Alaska requires 1.5× pay for hours worked over 8 in a single workday, in addition to the standard 40-hour weekly threshold. If you work 10 hours in one day, the first 8 are regular and the next 2 are overtime, regardless of your total weekly hours.

Weekly Overtime Threshold

Alaska also follows the federal 40-hour workweek standard. Overtime is due for hours over 40 in a workweek at 1.5× your regular rate. Daily and weekly overtime are calculated separately—whichever results in greater pay for the employee applies.

No Double Time in Alaska

Unlike California, Alaska does not require double time. The overtime rate is 1.5× for all hours exceeding 8 per day or 40 per week.
