Alaska overtime calculator — daily or weekly OT
Last checked against official sources: (labor.alaska.gov)
Split a week of punches into regular and 1.5× overtime using Alaska’s daily eight-hour and weekly forty-hour tests. HourPunch picks the method that yields more overtime without double counting.
Rules follow AS 23.10.060 and Alaska Department of Labor summaries. Alaska daily overtime generally applies only when an employer has four or more employees; many motor-carrier, agricultural, and other exemptions exist—confirm with payroll or counsel.

FAQ
- How does Alaska overtime work?
- Covered employees generally earn 1.5× for hours over eight in a workday and/or over forty in a workweek. HourPunch compares a pure daily-eight-hour calculation with a pure weekly-forty-hour calculation and uses whichever produces more overtime minutes, so the same hour is not counted twice.
- Does Alaska require double time?
- Alaska’s state overtime statute does not add a general double-time tier like California. This calculator shows regular hours and 1.5× overtime only.
- Who is exempt from Alaska overtime?
- Employers with fewer than four employees are often exempt from Alaska’s overtime requirements. Statute also lists exemptions for certain agricultural, airline, taxi, and other work—see the Alaska Wage and Hour Act and your employer.
- Can I share or export my Alaska timesheet?
- Yes. Use Copy share link to save URL parameters, or Print / Download CSV on the grid for your records.
- Is this official Alaska Department of Labor guidance?
- No. HourPunch is an independent estimate. Refer to labor.alaska.gov and qualified counsel for compliance.
How this calculator works
Alaska AS 23.10.060 requires 1.5× pay when covered employees work more than eight hours in a day or more than forty hours in a week. HourPunch compares a daily-eight-hour schedule with a weekly-forty-hour schedule and uses whichever produces more overtime, so no hour is counted in both buckets. Employers with fewer than four employees are generally exempt from Alaska overtime law. See the Alaska Department of Labor wage and hour act summary.
