What does Alaska law state in regard to breaks and meal periods?
Employers in Alaska must give break periods of at least 30 minutes for workers aged 14 to 17 who work 5 or more consecutive hours. Employers are not required to provide breaks to workers aged 18 or older. If you are given a break and it lasts less than 20 minutes, you must be compensated for the break. If your meal period lasts more than 20 minutes and you perform no work during this time, your employer is not required to compensate you.
