Jeremy Applegate is the chief of Wage and Hour for the State of Alaska Department of Labor. The goal of today’s episode is to inform workers, particularly seasonal workers who may have never worked in Alaska before, of their rights. Important things to know up front: workers are entitled to a written contract at the start of their employment which specifies how much they will be paid, when they will be paid, and how they will be paid. Most workers in Alaska are entitled to the state minimum wage of $11.73 an hour, and if a worker works more than 8 hours in a single day or more than 40 hours in a single week, most are entitled to overtime payment.
If you believe that your rights as a worker have been violated call: 907-269-4900 Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm or email: statewide.wagehour@alaska.gov or click here. You do not need to speak English to contact this office and make a claim.
