Alaska Wage and Hour Laws require employers to pay at least the federal minimum wage, and overtime is required for hours worked over 40 per week.
At-Will Employment is the default in Alaska, which means employers or employees can terminate the relationship at any time, with or without cause, unless otherwise specified by contract.
Discrimination Laws in Alaska are governed by the Alaska Human Rights Law, which protects against discrimination in employment on the basis of race, religion, gender, disability, and other protected characteristics.
In Alaska, employers must comply with federal and state payroll laws. Since Alaska has no state income tax, there are no deductions for state income tax; however, employers must still withhold federal income tax and Social Security/Medicare contributions. Employers are also required to maintain accurate records of employee hours, wages, and deductions, and comply with wage payment laws, including timely payment of wages and provision of final paychecks after termination. Additionally, Alaska requires employers to pay overtime for hours worked over 40 in a workweek unless exempt under federal guidelines.
Health Insurance: Alaska mandates that employers with 50 or more employees provide health insurance to full-time employees under the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA). Small businesses can access group health insurance plans through a PEO, often at a more affordable rate.
Unemployment Insurance: Employers in Alaska are required to contribute to the state’s unemployment insurance program, which provides benefits to eligible workers who lose their jobs.
Workers’ Compensation: Alaska law mandates that all employers have workers’ compensation insurance to cover job-related injuries or illnesses.
By utilizing a PEO, small businesses in Alaska can access competitive group benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans at lower costs, with no employment minimums.
