This calculation tells you how much overtime pay is owed when a non-exempt employee works more than eight hours in a day, more than 40 hours in a workweek, or both. Alaska uses a 1.5x overtime multiplier, and its weekly calculation excludes hours already paid as daily overtime so the same hour is not counted twice.
The result matters for payroll, job costing, and wage-compliance review. Alaska's Wage and Hour Administration publishes state wage guidance, and Alaska's rules include details that change the answer, including the fewer-than-four-employee overtime exemption, approved flexible work hour plans, and the state minimum wage schedule.
Start with each workday. Any hours over eight in a day are Alaska daily overtime unless a valid exception applies. Then total the workweek. Alaska also applies overtime after 40 hours in a workweek, but hours already paid as daily overtime are excluded from the weekly overtime count.
Assume a non-exempt employee works 9 hours Monday, 9 hours Tuesday, 8 hours Wednesday, 11 hours Thursday, and 8 hours Friday at a $31.20 regular hourly rate. Total hours are 45. Daily overtime is 5 hours: 1 on Monday, 1 on Tuesday, and 3 on Thursday. The weekly over-40 total is also 5, so no extra weekly overtime is added.
For a simple hourly employee, overtime pay equals overtime hours multiplied by 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. In the example above, the overtime rate is $46.80. Regular pay is 40 hours multiplied by $31.20, or $1,248.00. Overtime pay is 5 hours multiplied by $46.80, or $234.00. Total gross pay is $1,482.00.
Rate checks matter in Alaska because the state minimum wage is $13.00 per hour from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and increases to $14.00 per hour on July 1, 2026. Alaska employers may not apply tips or gratuities as a credit toward the state minimum wage.
Do not stop at the hours total. Alaska's overtime statute does not apply to an employee of an employer with fewer than four employees in the regular course of business. Alaska also allows approved voluntary flexible work hour plans that can move the daily overtime trigger to more than 10 hours in a day, while keeping the 40-hour weekly limit.
Exemption status also changes the calculation. Alaska's bona fide executive, administrative, and professional exemption requires salary or fee compensation of at least twice the state minimum wage for the first 40 hours each week, plus the applicable duties test. Job title alone does not decide the result, and Alaska regulations do not accept compensatory time off in place of overtime pay.
A one-off calculation is enough when you are checking one timesheet, one rate, and one uncomplicated workweek. Use it to verify the daily overtime total, confirm whether weekly overtime adds anything, and spot a missing state exception before payroll is finalized.
A managed workflow is better when multiple employees, changing schedules, approvals, and payroll handoff are involved. Everhour Overtimes supports daily and weekly overtime limits, 1.5x and 2x tiers, overtime visibility in Team Hours, and payroll calculations based on employee hourly cost and tracked time, so approved records stay connected to the final review.

Yes. Alaska overtime applies when a non-exempt employee works more than eight hours in a day. Those overtime hours are paid at one and one-half times the employee's regular rate of pay unless a valid exception applies, such as an approved voluntary flexible work hour plan.
Calculate daily overtime first, then check weekly overtime. Alaska also applies overtime after 40 hours in a workweek, but hours already paid as daily overtime are excluded from the weekly overtime count. This prevents double-counting the same hour as both daily and weekly overtime.
Under an approved voluntary flexible work hour plan, the plan may cover 40 hours a week and not more than 10 hours a day. Overtime at 1.5x is due beyond 10 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week, so the daily threshold changes only when the plan is valid.
Use $13.00 per hour for work from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Use $14.00 per hour starting July 1, 2026. Alaska does not allow a tip credit, so tips or gratuities do not reduce the state minimum wage obligation.
No. Alaska regulations list compensatory time off in place of overtime pay as an unacceptable method of complying with Alaska overtime requirements. Under the federal FLSA baseline, overtime for covered nonexempt employees also cannot be waived by employer-employee agreement, with limited public-sector exceptions.
Everhour Overtimes lets admins set daily and weekly overtime limits, separate regular, 1.5x overtime, and 2x tiers, and review overtime hours in Team Hours. The Payroll dashboard calculates overtime pay and gross pay from employee hourly cost and tracked time.
Everhour Reporting can surface overtime and double-overtime data in Team Hours and configurable reports. Saved reports can be downloaded as CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF, giving payroll reviewers a structured export instead of rebuilding totals from raw time entries.
Set daily and weekly overtime rules, review approved hours, and hand payroll clean totals from tracked work. Everhour Overtimes turns Alaska overtime review into a repeatable payroll workflow.
