Starting January 1, 2018, minimum wage employees in the state of Alaska will receive an increase in their pay. Alaska’s new minimum wage is $9.84 per hour. Like many states across the country, Alaska is required to adjust its minimum wage rate based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPI is a measure of the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by households over time.
The Summary of Alaska Wage and Hour Act posting has been updated to reflect the new minimum wage rate. All employers covered by any of the provisions of the Alaska Wage and Hour Act (A.S. 23.10.050, et seq.) must display the Summary of Alaska Wage and Hour Act posting in the workplace. Employers can comply with their posting requirement by obtaining the updated Alaska All-On-OneTM Poster or the Alaska 2018 Minimum Wage Peel ‘N PostTM.
