| claim | free route | statute |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord & tenant a landlord keeping my deposit | — | Alaska Stat. § 34.03.070 |
| Employment unpaid overtime | The Wage and Hour Administration takes wage claims, and its own page says it provides sole enforcement of the laws on payment of wages, minimum wage and overtime — it acts on the worker's behalf to collect from the employer. Reach an investigator by phone; the office notes it has no investigator on call on Tuesdays or Thursdays.↗ | AS 23.10.060 |
| Consumer a debt collector harassing me | The Consumer Protection Unit of the Department of Law takes the complaint at no charge. It is worth knowing what the office is before you file: it enforces Alaska's unfair trade practices act in the public interest and mediates, and it does not act as your attorney. A collection agency operating in Alaska is separately licensed by the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing.↗ | — |
| Employment being fired for complaining | Your EEOC deadline here is 300 days rather than 180, and the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights is the reason: the extension in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) turns on whether a state agency has authority over the same conduct, and here one does. Its own window is 300 days too, and it wants the complaint drafted, notarised and filed inside it — so start earlier than the date suggests. Both clocks end on the same day, and filing with either office is free.↗ | — |
| Injury a car accident | — | AS 09.10.070 |
