An Alaska overtime calculation answers how much gross pay is owed to a non-exempt employee when hours pass the state's daily or weekly overtime thresholds. Alaska requires overtime at 1.5 times the regular rate for hours worked over eight in a day or over 40 in a workweek. The weekly count excludes hours already paid as daily overtime, so the same hour is not counted twice.
The calculation matters for payroll review, job costing, and policy checks. Alaska's 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.
Start with each workday, not just the weekly total. In Alaska, a non-exempt employee earns 1.5 times the regular rate for hours worked over eight in a day. Under an approved voluntary flexible work hour plan, the daily threshold can move to over 10 hours in a day, while the weekly 40-hour rule still applies.
After daily overtime is identified, count the remaining non-overtime hours for the week. If those remaining hours exceed 40, the excess becomes weekly overtime. This order prevents double-counting. A 10-hour day creates two daily overtime hours; those two hours are excluded when checking whether the weekly total also creates overtime.
Example: a non-exempt Alaska employee works 49 hours in one workweek at a $27.00 regular hourly rate. The schedule creates 6 daily overtime hours. After those daily overtime hours are excluded, 43 remaining hours are checked against the weekly threshold, creating 3 additional weekly overtime hours. Total overtime is 9 hours, and regular paid hours are 40.
Regular pay is 40 × $27.00 = $1,080.00. The overtime rate is $27.00 × 1.5 = $40.50. Overtime pay is 9 × $40.50 = $364.50. Total gross pay is $1,444.50. If the employee also receives piece-rate, salary, commission, bonus, or other non-hourly compensation, Alaska regulations convert that compensation into a weekly regular hourly rate before overtime is calculated.
Do not apply the daily overtime rule blindly to every worker. 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's bona fide executive, administrative, and professional exemption also 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.
Federal rules still matter as a baseline. Under the FLSA, covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than 1.5 times the regular rate. When an employee is covered by both federal and state wage laws, the greater benefit or more generous right applies.
A one-off calculation is enough when you have one employee, one completed workweek, a known regular rate, and a simple schedule. It is also enough for checking whether daily overtime was missed before payroll is finalized. Keep the workweek fixed, and do not average hours across two or more workweeks to avoid overtime.
A managed workflow is needed when time comes from projects, timecards, approvals, and payroll exports. Everhour can embed tracking controls inside supported project tools, sync project and task metadata, and keep timesheets available in the work tools teams already use. That creates a cleaner handoff when Alaska daily overtime, weekly overtime, and exceptions need review before payroll.

Yes. Alaska overtime applies when a non-exempt employee works more than eight hours in a day. The overtime rate is 1.5 times the employee's regular rate of pay. Under an approved voluntary flexible work hour plan, overtime can instead apply after more than 10 hours in a day, with weekly overtime still due after 40 hours.
Apply daily overtime first, then exclude those daily overtime hours from the weekly overtime count. If the remaining non-daily-overtime hours exceed 40 in the workweek, the excess becomes weekly overtime. This prevents the same hour from being paid as both daily overtime and weekly overtime.
No. Alaska regulations list compensatory time off in place of overtime pay as an unacceptable method of complying with Alaska overtime requirements. FLSA overtime also cannot be waived by employer-employee agreement and generally cannot be satisfied with compensatory time off except in special circumstances for state and local government employees.
Use the applicable Alaska minimum wage for the date worked. 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 does not allow a tip credit toward that wage.
The common mistake is treating Alaska like a weekly-only overtime state. A non-exempt employee who works 10 hours in one day earns daily overtime even if the final weekly total is 40 hours or less, unless an approved flexible work hour plan changes the daily threshold. The second mistake is counting daily overtime hours again as weekly overtime.
Everhour integrates with major project management and accounting tools, embeds tracking controls in supported workflows, and syncs project and task metadata into one reporting layer. Teams can track approved hours inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, Jira, Monday, Notion, Trello, and others before payroll review.
Everhour Overtimes supports daily and weekly overtime limits, regular overtime at 1.5 times, and double overtime tiers where teams need them. Admins can review overtime in Team Hours, then use the Payroll dashboard to calculate overtime pay and gross pay from hourly cost and tracked time.
Connect work tools to Everhour, capture approved time where work happens, and keep Alaska overtime review tied to project context before payroll handoff.
