1. (a) Subject to the exceptions specified in 29 C.F.R. 541.602 and 541.603, revised as of July 1, 2012 and adopted by reference, an exempt employee must receive the full salary for any week in which the employee performs any work regardless of the number of days or hours worked, except as provided in (c) of this section.
2. (b) Failure to pay the full salary in the initial or terminal week of employment is not considered inconsistent with the salary basis of payment. In those weeks the payment of a proportionate part of the employee's salary for the time actually worked meets the requirement. However, this is not to be construed to mean that an employee is on a salary basis if the employee is employed occasionally for a few days and is paid a proportionate part of the weekly salary when employed. In addition, payment of the full weekly salary under those circumstances would not meet the requirements, since casual or occasional employment for a few days at a time is inconsistent with employment on a salary basis within the meaning of this section.

3. (c) An exempt administrative, executive, or professional employee may be compensated on a daily rate if

   1. (1) the minimum compensation requirements established under AS 23.10.055(b) are met;
   2. (2) the employee receives at least $300 per day; and
   3. (3) subject to the provisions of this section, the employee receives the full daily salary for any day in which any hours are worked regardless of the number of hours worked.
4. (d) Except as provided in 29 C.F.R. 541.602 and 541.603, determining an exempt employee's salary is subject to the general rule that an employee is not required to be compensated for any week in which no work is performed or for any day in which no work was performed.
