HB130

Flexible Time Credit for State Employees

Last scannedSep 12, 2026, 4:46 AM

In one sentence

This law allows certain state employees who cannot get overtime pay to earn paid time off when they work extra hours.

What it does

  • Creates a rule called flexible time credit for classified executive branch workers who are not eligible for overtime compensation.
  • Requires the state to give these workers one hour of paid leave for every full or partial hour worked beyond their standard workweek.
  • States that this extra time is recorded in 15-minute blocks and has no cash value if not used.
  • Excludes work covered by special pay plans, such as staying at a worksite overnight, from earning these credits.
  • Allows employers or union contracts to set specific rules for how workers earn and use their flexible time.

Who it affects

  • Classified employees in the executive branch of Alaska state government who are not eligible for overtime pay.
  • State agencies that employ these classified workers.
  • Unions or bargaining units representing these employees if they have collective agreements.

Limits and unknowns

  • The official text does not state when this rule will officially start because the effective date is blank.
  • Specific rules on how to request time off or resolve disputes are left up to individual employers or union contracts, so they may vary by department.
