Understanding Alaska’s Ballot Measure Number 1: The State’s Newest Minimum Labor Standards and Paid Sick Leave Mandate

The new Alaska paid sick leave and minimum wage laws, enacted through Ballot Measure Number 1, are set to take effect on July 1, 2025. The introduction of mandatory paid leave on a statewide level, the progressive increase to the minimum wage, and the new restrictions on certain employer meetings will introduce significant shifts for Alaska employers. In this session, Littler attorneys will discuss what steps employers should take to ensure compliance with these new requirements. Topics discussed will include:

• Overview of Ballot Measure Number 1 and what it requires of Alaska employers
• Impact on employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement and other exempt categories
• Paid sick leave compliance options and potential utilization of more generous paid time off policies
• Preparing for paid sick leave recordkeeping, policy, employee notice and workplace posting requirements
• Changes to Alaska’s minimum wage
• Employer limitations on certain mandatory meetings
• Status update on legislative amendments and rulemaking

This webinar is designed for employers of all sizes and will provide attendees with a better understanding of their obligations and how to ensure compliance.​
