How it works

Alaska has a work-sharing agreement with the EEOC. A charge filed with Alaska State Commission for Human Rights is generally also considered filed with the EEOC ("dual-filed"), and vice versa. You usually only need to file once.

Key notes

Alaska's low employer threshold of one employee means almost every worker in the state has state-law protections, including those at very small businesses that fall below the federal threshold.
