In Alaska, what constitutes overtime? According to Alaska's laws, every hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek is regarded as overtime work. An employee who works more than 8 hours per day or more than 40 consecutive hours per week must be paid 1.5 times their regular rate of pay.
Time spent traveling is considered work and must be counted as hours worked if it is part of the employee's primary activity of the work day, such as taking a client to a doctor's appointment. When an employee is directed to provide services at one facility and then assigned to another, the time spent traveling between the two locations is also compensable time. Regular home-to-work travel is not compensable.
No. Because each state has its own Medicaid eligibility requirements, you cannot simply transfer coverage from one state to another, nor can you use your coverage while visiting another state unless you require emergency medical care.
