Overtime in Alaska

Alaska’s overtime law requires employers to pay overtime for hours worked beyond eight in a day or forty in a week, as set by AS 23.10.060. The statute establishes the general obligation but does not prescribe a specific overtime rate or formula in the text. Instead, the official source at the Alaska Legislature’s website provides the full rule, including any applicable exceptions and factors. A verified penalty of $300.00 may apply for violations under certain circumstances detailed in the statute. The calculation method, including how to determine the overtime rate, is not specified in the pinned facts. The worked example below illustrates how the overtime amount is computed. To estimate your own potential overtime pay, use the DocketMath calculator.

Wage calculation example

For a Alaska wage or overtime example, use only values backed by the verified rule packet. The verified packet cites AS 23.10.060 (https://www.akleg.gov/basis/statutes.asp?title=23&chapter=10&media=print&type=fetch&secStart=23.10.050&secEnd=23.10.110#23.10.060).

Example inputs:

• Hourly rate: $20
• Hours at issue: 10
• Applied multiplier: 1.5x

Calculation:

• Multiply the hourly rate by the hours at issue.
• Apply the verified multiplier when the claim type requires it.
• Example amount: $300.00

This example is generated from packet-backed values. Confirm coverage, exemptions, lookback periods, and liquidated-damages rules before relying on the amount.
