  • employing unit: means one or more departments or other agencies of the state, a political subdivision of the state, a federally recognized tribe, an individual, or a type of organization, partnership, association, trust, estate, joint trust company, insurance company, or domestic or foreign corporation, or the receiver, referee in bankruptcy, trustee, or successor of one of these, or the legal representative of a deceased person, that has or had one or more individuals performing service for it in the state. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.520
  • employment: includes services described in this subparagraph and (A) of this paragraph only if
    (i) the contract of service contemplates that substantially all of the services are to be performed personally by the individual. See Alaska Statutes 23.20.525
(b) If the service performed during more than one-half of a pay period by an individual for an employing unit does not constitute employment, then none of the service of the individual for the period is considered employment.
(c) In this section, “pay period” means a period of not more than 31 consecutive days for which a payment for service is ordinarily made to the individual by the employing unit. This section does not apply to service performed in a pay period by an individual for an employing unit when any of the service is excluded because it is subject to an unemployment insurance program established by an Act of Congress.
