The bill introduces a new section, AS 39.20.355, to the Alaska Statutes, establishing a flexible time credit system for classified employees in the executive branch who are not eligible for overtime compensation. This system allows these employees to accrue paid time off for hours worked beyond their standard workweek, credited in quarter-hour increments. The flexible time credit has no cash value and is forfeited upon the employee's separation from state service. Additionally, it does not accrue for time covered by specific pay premiums or plans that require employees to remain at the worksite for extended periods.

Furthermore, the bill amends AS 39.25.150 to include a new provision regarding the methods and procedures for flexible time credit for classified employees who are not eligible for overtime compensation. This addition aims to ensure that the personnel rules encompass the management of flexible time credits, thereby providing a structured approach to their accrual and use. The new flexible time credit policy will apply to contracts entered into on or after the effective date of the Act.
