*Rate class 21 is the penalty rate. The penalty rate is assigned when the account is missing a quarterly contribution report OR has a due amount of $100.00 or more for any quarter prior to or during the rating period. (AS 23.20.280(c), 8 AAC 85.295)

Experience rates are applied to employers that have at least four quarters of wage history during the 12-quarter rating period. Employers not having four quarters of wage history are assigned the industry rate. (AS 23.20.170, AS 23.20.280)
