Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Employer defined
“Employer” means a person, including the state and a political subdivision of the state, who has one or more employees in the state but does not include a club that is exclusively social, or a fraternal, charitable, educational, or religious association or corporation, if the club, association, or corporation is not organized for private profit.
Unlawful employment practices
The unlawful employment practices, as well as the exemptions, are similar to those under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act. These include provisions for apprenticeship and other training programs, licenses or certifications, advertisements, and retaliation.
In addition, Alaska provides for local human rights commissions. A municipality may, by ordinance or resolution, establish a local human rights commission. Local commissions can be granted powers and duties similar to those exercised by the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights.
Recordkeeping
The state, employers, labor organizations, and employment agencies must maintain records on age, sex, and race that are required to administer the civil rights laws and regulations.
