Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
Federal law generally does not regulate employment contracts between employers and employees with one exception: contracts that require the joining or refraining from joining of a labor union as a condition of employment. On the federal level, these contracts are governed by the National Labor Relations Act. States may have a corresponding provision and may also have additional provisions regarding employment contracts.
Alaska law does not have a specific provision relative to employment contracts and labor union membership. It does have other provisions relative to employment contracts.
Waiver of rights
An employer can not require an employee to enter into an agreement to waive his or her rights to workers’ compensation benefits, nor agree to pay any portion of the employer’s required contributions to the state fund.
Personal injury
No contract of employment can bar an action to recover damages for personal injuries to or death of an employee.
