Alaska Admin. Code tit. 8, § 15.109 – Paid leave or paid time off policies

(a) Paid time off provided to an employee through an employer's paid leave or paid time off policy satisfies the requirement to provide paid sick leave if
1. (1) the policy meets the requirements under AS 23.10.066;
2. (2) the employer notifies the employee that the policy will be utilized to meet the paid sick leave requirements under AS 23.10.066(6);
3. (3) paid time off accrues at a rate of not less than one hour for every 30 hours worked as an employee; and
4. (4) an employee may utilize accrued paid time off in the bank on the same terms for the purposes authorized under AS 23.10.067.
(b) An employer is not required to provide additional paid time off or paid sick leave to an employee if
1. (1) the employee used the accrued paid time off for a purpose other than one authorized under AS 23.10.067; and
2. (2) the employer's policy meets the requirements of AS 23.10.066, 23.10.067, and this chapter.
(c) Nothing in AS 23.10.066 prohibits an employer from having a written policy that prohibits leave without pay and that automatically deducts accrued hours from the employee's paid time-off bank.
(d) If an employer provides an employee paid time-off or sick leave hours in excess of the minimum yearly allotment, the excess hours are not subject to the provisions of this chapter.
(e) In AS 23.10.066 and this section, a "paid leave" or "paid time off'" policy means a program by an employer that combines more than one type of leave, including paid sick leave, in to one bank of leave.
