Alaska overtime rules for field crews
Alaska is one of the small number of states with a daily overtime threshold on top of the federal weekly rule.
What the law requires
Overtime at one and a half times the regular rate past 8 hours in a workday as well as past 40 in a workweek.
What it means on a crew
Four ten-hour days is 8 hours of overtime in Alaska and none at all under the federal rule alone.
What Punchless does
The daily threshold is applied at 8 with no state double-time tier, and weekly promotion applies only to hours still counted as straight time.
Every rule we enforce is published with the statute behind it and the test that checks it, so this is a claim you can verify rather than take on faith.
Verified against primary sources on August 3, 2026. Statutes and wage orders change, and some of this is genuinely unsettled - re-check the source before relying on it. Punchless is not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
