Opinion LettersAlaska's Wage and Hour Administration issues Wage and Hour Opinion Letters (WHOLs), which address subjects under general wage and hour law, and Public Contracts Opinion Letters (Polls), which generally address coverage questions under the state’s Little Davis-Bacon Act. These opinion letters are responses to inquiries from individuals or organizations for determinations of Alaska Department of Labor policy in regard to a specific set of facts or circumstances as described to the department. It is important to note that, although the determinations expressed were accurate at the time of the writing, due to changes in statutes, regulations, or policy, some may no longer reflect current department policy. Each opinion is based solely upon the information provided by the entity requesting the opinion. As these determinations are based on the given facts for each particular situation, they may not apply to comparable situations with slightly differing circumstances. It is advisable to contact Alaska's Wage and Hour Administration for clarification before applying these policy determinations to any other situations. The Opinion Letters indexes are comprehensive lists in chronological order of all the Wage and Hour Opinion Letters (WHOLs) and Public Contracts Opinion Letters (PCOLs) that Alaska's Wage and Hour Office has issued through the most recent calendar quarter. This index is updated quarterly. People interested in reviewing letters from the following lists should contact the nearest Wage and Hour Administration Office. There will be a copying charge of 25 cents per page for any requests that exceed 20 pages.
