This 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. Under this provision, employees will earn time off with pay for hours worked beyond their standard workweek, accruing flexible time credit in quarter-hour increments. The bill specifies that this credit has no cash value and will be canceled without payment upon the employee's separation from state service. Additionally, it outlines that flexible time credit does not accrue for time covered by pay premiums or plans for employees required to stay at the worksite for over 24 hours.

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 recognizing excessive work hours for these employees. The new flexible time credit policy will be applicable to contracts entered into on or after the effective date of the Act.
