Description
This appeal arises from a dispute between Alaska Airlines and several of its Prudhoe Bay employees over interpretation of statutory exemptions from the overtime provision of the Alaska Wage and Hour Act (AWHA). Under the terms of their collective bargaining agreements, the employees work fourteen consecutive twelve-hour days, followed by fourteen days off. They receive overtime payments only for hours worked in excess of this schedule. The employees sued Alaska Airlines, arguing that pursuant to AWHAs overtime provision, they are entitled to overtime payments for work in excess of forty hours a week or ten hours a day. The superior court rejected this argument and granted summary judgment in favor of Alaska Airlines. Because we conclude that the employees work schedule contained in their collective bargaining agreements is exempt from AWHAs overtime provision, we affirm.
