Alaska daily overtime and Code TT

Alaska overtime for hours over 8 in a day is state overtime. It is qualified overtime only where the hours are also over 40 worked in the workweek.

The Alaska rule

"An employer may not employ an employee for a workweek longer than 40 hours or for more than eight hours in a day. Should an employer find it necessary to employ an employee in excess of these standards, compensation for such overtime shall be paid at the rate of one and one-half times the regular rate of pay." (Alaska Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Act summary)

Example

Four 10-hour days at $26: 8 hours are paid at 1.5x under Alaska law, 40 hours are worked, and Code TT for the week is $0. Add a fifth 10-hour day and 10 hours are over 40: Code TT is 10 x $13 = $130. (IRS FS-2026-13, Q12 and Q16)
