Alaska Overtime Rules
Alaska pays daily overtime: 1.5x after 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week.
- 1.5x the regular rate for hours over 8 in a day or over 40 in a workweek.
- The overtime rule does not apply to employers with fewer than 4 employees.
- Employees on a written flexible work hour plan approved by the state, or one in a union contract, are exempt.

Overtime is taxed like the rest of your pay. A paycheck with extra hours can have more federal tax withheld because payroll annualizes it, and for 2025 through 2028 the federally required overtime premium is deductible on your federal return. The overtime tax calculator estimates that deduction; the paycheck above does not include it.
