Bill > HB130

This bill establishes a flexible time credit system for classified employees in the executive branch of Alaska state government who are not eligible for overtime compensation. Under the new provisions, employees will accrue flexible time credits for each hour worked beyond their standard workweek, with credits recorded in quarter-hour increments. These credits are non-monetary and will be canceled without payment if the employee leaves state service or their bargaining unit. Importantly, flexible time credits will not accrue for time already covered by special pay premiums or for extended work periods that require employees to remain at the worksite for more than 24 hours. The bill also amends existing personnel rules to include methods and procedures for managing these flexible time credits, and allows individual employers or collective bargaining agreements to establish additional terms and conditions for accrual and use of the credits, including dispute resolution mechanisms. The new provisions will apply to contracts entered into on or after the bill's effective date, providing a standardized approach to recognizing and compensating employees for excessive work time in a non-monetary manner.
