Can my employer refuse to pay overtime in Alaska?
For non-exempt employees, no — your employer is legally required to pay at least 1.5× your regular rate for hours over 40 per week under the FLSA. This is a federal law that applies in Alaska. Employers cannot waive this right, even with employee agreement. If you believe you are owed unpaid overtime, you can file a complaint with the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division or the Alaska Department of Labor. The statute of limitations for back wages is typically 2 years (3 years for willful violations).
Are salaried workers entitled to overtime in Alaska?
Salaried employees earning under $684/week ($35,568/year) must receive overtime regardless of job duties under the FLSA. Salaried workers above this threshold who meet the "duties test" for executive, administrative, or professional work are "exempt" from federal overtime. However, some high-earning salaried workers in Alaska may have additional state-level protections. If you are misclassified as exempt, you may be owed significant back wages.
