Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

Breaks

Federal law does not require employers to provide rest periods or coffee/snack breaks. However, if employers choose to offer short breaks, breaks lasting 20 minutes or less must be considered work time and employees are paid for the time.

Alaska law does not address breaks.

Meal periods

Federal law does not require employers to provide meal periods. However, if employers choose to provide one, a meal period of at least 30 minutes may be unpaid as long as employees are completely relieved from duty. If employees are not completely relieved of job duties during the meal period, employees must be paid for that time.

Alaska law requires employers to provide a break of at least 30-minutes to employees ages 14–17 if they work five or more consecutive hours.

Alaska does not require employers to give meal periods to employees age 18 and over.
