Alaska Prevailing Wage Information
THRESHOLD
State public works contracts valued in excess of $25,000 are subject to prevailing wage regulations (AK Stat. Sec. 36.05.010et seq.). Projects funded partially with federal funds are beyond the Wage and Hour's jurisdiction to enforce Alaska Resident Hire when doing so violates federal funding standards. The Wage & Hour division does not have jurisdiction over federal contracts.
TIMING OF WAGE AND DETERMINATION INCREASES
New wage rates are issued twice a year by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. Wage determinations are published on the first of April and September. Any increases occur at these times.
Pursuant to AS 36.05.010, the current prevailing wage rate is listed in the latest determination issued by Department of Labor and Workforce Development at least 10 days before the final date of submission of bids for the contract. This rate is effective for the life of the contract or for 24 months (whichever is shorter). If at the end of the initial 24 month period, new wage determinations have been issued, then the latest wage determination is effective for the next 24 month period or until the next contract is completed (whichever occurs first) and this process is repeated until the contract complete.
SPECIAL PREVAILING WAGE DETERMINATIONS
Special prevailing wage rate determinations may be requested for special projects or a special worker classification if the work to be performed does not conform to traditional public construction for which a prevailing wage rate has been established under 8 AAC 30.050(a) of this section. Requests for special wage rate determinations must be in writing and filed with the Commissioner at least 30 days before the award of the contract. An applicant for a special wage rate determination shall have the responsibility to support the necessity for the special rate. An application for a special wage rate determination filed under this section must contain:
1) a specification of the contract or project on which the special rates will apply and a description of the work to be performed;
2) a brief narrative explaining why special wage rates are necessary;
3) the job class or classes involved;
4) the special wage rates the applicant is requesting, including survey or other relevant wage data to support the requested rates;
5) the approximate number of employees who would be affected; and
6) any other information which might be helpful in determining if special wage rates are appropriate.
Requests made pursuant to the above should be addressed to:

OVERTIME
According to Alaska prevailing wage law, overtime is paid for hours worked in excess of eight hours per day and forty regular or straight-time hours per week. Overtime compensation is one and a half times the regular rate of pay. However, there is two primary exceptions to this rule, if an employer employs less than four employees or the employee falls under another exception, then the employer is not required to provide overtime compensation. Please See “Summary of Alaska Wage and Hour Act” for details. Moreover, executive, administrative, and professional employees are generally exempt from overtime payments. Overtime does not vary from trade to trade.
WORKING ON WEEKENDS
Alaska prevailing wage law does not recognize different prevailing wage rates per trade for working on the weekend. State overtime regulations also apply for weekend work.
WORKING ON LEGAL HOLIDAYS
Alaska prevailing wage law does not compensate contractors or subcontractors for employment on legal holidays. The employer determines whether or not to compensate his employees for working on legal holidays. It depends on the legal holidays an employer has established for his or her employees.
SHIFT DIFFERENTIALS
Alaska prevailing wage law does not contain prevailing wage shift differential payments.
TRANSPORTATION
If an employer provides transportation, pays your way or loans the cost of transportation from the place of hire to anywhere in Alaska, the employer must compensate for the way back or provide transportation to the place of hire or place that the employee and employer agreed upon after employment ends. One primary exception to this rule is that an employer is not required to pay return transportation if an employee was terminated for the following reasons:
1) Fighting
2) Intoxication
3) Lying on job application
4) Having unexcused absences from duties for 3+ consecutive scheduled work days
5) Quit your job (exception--employer misrepresented wages, lodging, or working conditions or you quit for health/safety reasons)
FRINGE BENEFITS
Contractors/subcontractors may compensate fringe benefits to their employees in any one of three methods. The fringe benefits may be paid into a union trust fund, into an approved benefit plan, or paid directly on the paycheck as gross wages.
Where fringe benefits are paid into approved plans, funds, or programs including union trust funds, the payments must be contributed at least monthly. If contractors submit their own payroll forms and are paying fringe benefits into approved plans, funds, or programs, the employer’s certification must include, in addition to those requirements of 8 AAC 30.020(c), a statement that fringe benefit payments have been or will be paid at least monthly. Contractors who pay fringe benefits to a plan must ensure the plan is one approved by the Internal Revenue Service and that the plan meets the requirements of 8 AAC 30.025 (eff. 3/2/08) in order for payments to be credited toward the prevailing wage obligation.
TRAINING CONTRIBUTION
Please visit the following link for the training fringe benefit contribution for each craft per trade:
Pamphlet 600
APPRENTICE REQUIREMENTS
Under Alaska prevailing wage law, the key requirement is that an apprentice must be registered with the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship and Training. Additionally, pursuant to Administrative Order No. 226 (effective July 24, 2005), Alaska established a fifteen percent goal for hiring apprentices in certain job categories on highway, airport, harbor, dam, tunnel, utility or dredging projects awarded by the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities that exceed $2.5 million. This Order applies to all advertised after September 1, 2005. The hours worked by apprentices are compared to the hours worked by journeyman level workers to determine if the fifteen percent goal has been met. This on-the-job training goal is critical to ensure that the Alaska work force is prepared for the future.
APPRENTICE RATES
Apprentice rates at less than the minimum prevailing wage rates may be paid to apprentices according to an apprentice program that has been registered and approved by the Commissioner of Labor & Workforce Development in writing or according to a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, United States Department of Labor.
Any employee listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate that is NOT REGISTERED, is paid the journeyman prevailing minimum wage in that work classification. Wage rates are based on prevailing crew makeup practices in Alaska and apply to work performed regardless of either: 1) the quality of the work performed by the employee; or 2) the titles/classifications which may be assigned to individual employees.
TRAVEL & SUBSISTENCE
Travel pay rates are established by the employer. If a project qualifies, a contractor, depending on the work classification, may be required to provide room and board to his or her employees. In lieu of room and board a per diem amount of $75.00/day may be paid to an employee. If housing is provided, the contactor must pay $36.00/day for meals. Please see Roman Numeral “V” in Pamphlet 600 for additional details:
