GUIDE TO CODING

Occupational Codes

Use the six-digit code that best describes the activities of the employee. In some cases, the six-digit code has

been expanded to identify occupations important to the state. For instance, seafood processing workers are

coded as 51-3022.05.

Select a code based on the work actually performed--not the code for jobs for which employees might be

trained. For example, an employee trained as a Computer Scientist, but working as a Manager, should be

coded as a Manager.

Read the detailed descriptions of codes you select to insure you have matched to the employee¡¯s duties.

Occupations that are similar are often distinguished by key words like routine, non-routine, mechanical, or

hand.

Supervisors of professional and technical workers are classified with the workers they supervise. Similarly,

supervisors, team leaders, and lead workers of sales, service, and production workers who spend at least 20

percent of their time performing work similar to the workers they supervise are classified with those workers.

Supervisors and first-line managers of sales, service, and production workers who spend more than 80 percent

of their time in supervisory activities are coded separately from the people they supervise. If no separate

category is indicated, code the supervisor with the workers they oversee.

An occupation that combines two different activities is

reported with the code for the activity that requires the

highest skill or educational level. If these levels are

the same, report the code for the occupation in which

the employee spends the most time.

Search for Occupations by Industry!

The Research and Analysis Section has created

industry/occupation cheat sheets. It simplifies

the task of finding occupations by weeding out

the hundreds of occupations that are not

employed in an industry. Go to:

Employees who changed jobs during a quarter should

be reported in their last occupation. Do not list the

employee more than once on the same Quarterly

Contribution Report.



Code apprentices, student teachers, and trainees in

the occupation for which they are training.

Identify aides, helpers, and laborers separately if they are not training for the occupation in which they are

helping, or if their work is truly different.

If the duties of an occupation are not described in the detailed occupations, code the occupation in the

appropriate ¡°All other¡± residual category.

Geographic Codes

Determine where the employee performed work within the state. If you are familiar with the geography of

Alaska, you can use the map on page 6 to find the two-digit geographic code. You can also look up the code

for the employee¡¯s place of work in the regional list of geographic codes starting on page 7. The communities

listed regionally appear alphabetically.

Choose the code for the employee's primary work site during the quarter. Often, employees change work sites

from one quarter to another. If your employee worked at different locations during the quarter, code for the

most recent primary work site. If the employee travels statewide, for example as a sales representative, use

the code for the location in which the employee spends the most time.

Do not use the home office of the employer unless that is the location where the employee worked.

Code employees working out of state as ¡°99¡±.

Code employees working in offshore locations, such as floating fish processors or permanent offshore oil

drilling operations, as ¡°20¡±.

Code employees who received wages but did not work during the quarter as ¡°00¡±.

Online Alaska Quarterly Contribution Reporting

The Department of Labor has a web site for employers to report wage information for their employees via the

Web. Employers can submit Quarterly Contribution Reports and have them received by the State in a 24-hour

period. This makes it easier for employers to comply with Alaska State regulation, thereby avoiding penalty and

interest payments due to late reporting. It is also easier to code your employee¡¯s occupation and geographic

codes by using the drop-down boxes included in the Web system.

To file your Alaska Quarterly Contribution Report online, you must have a valid Alaska Employer Account

Number, a valid Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), and a personal identification number (PIN).

To obtain a PIN, go to and click on the icon for filing your Quarterly

Contribution Reports. PINs are automatically assigned and sent within minutes to your e-mail address.
