The 2026 Alaska minimum wage is $14.00 per hour for most workers. Some cities set higher local rates, and tipped and youth rates can differ.
Five 9-hour days at $14.00: 40.00 regular hours ($560.00) plus 5.00 overtime hours at $21.00 ($105.00) = $665.00 gross before taxes.
No. The daily rule does not apply to employers with fewer than 4 employees, and an employee on a Department of Labor-approved voluntary flexible work-hour plan can work up to 10 hours a day at straight time before daily overtime starts.
It models hourly, non-exempt work — the employees overtime law protects. Many salaried roles are exempt under the FLSA's executive, administrative and professional tests, which turn on duties and salary level, not job titles.
Five 9-hour days (45 hours) at the Alaska minimum wage of $14.00/hour. Each 9-hour day splits into 8 regular hours and 1 daily-overtime hour, which adds up to the same totals as the weekly rule would give: 45:00 hours — 40:00 regular and 5:00 overtime — for a gross of $665.00 ($560.00 regular + $105.00 overtime). Change the rate or the day hours above and the same split is recalculated instantly.
No — that is called pyramiding, and it is not allowed. An hour paid at a daily premium is not counted again toward the 40-hour weekly threshold; you receive whichever treatment benefits you more for that hour, never both.
Paid break minutes stay in your paid time instead of coming off the shift. That can move a day or a week across a threshold: a 9:00-to-6:30 shift with a paid 30-minute break holds 9.5 paid hours, not 9.
