AS 23.20.190. Penalty For Failure to File Reports.

(a) An employer required to pay contributions under the provisions of AS 23.20.165 who fails to file a contribution report and wage schedule on the date it is due is subject to a penalty, to be assessed and collected in the same manner as contributions. If the report is filed within 30 days of the date it is due, the penalty is five percent of the contributions due. For each additional 30-day period or its fraction, the penalty is an additional five percent of the contributions due. However, the penalty may not exceed 25 percent of the contributions due in the aggregate and may not be less than $10 for each reporting period.

(b) If a report is filed after it is due and it is shown to the satisfaction of the department that the failure to file was due to a reasonable cause, a penalty may not be assessed or collected.

(c) Penalties collected under this section shall periodically be transferred from the clearing account to the training and building fund.

(d) An employer who has elected to make reimbursement payments under AS 23.20.277 who fails to file a contribution report and wage schedule on the date it is due is subject to a penalty, to be assessed and collected in the same manner provided under this section for failure to file a contribution report and wage schedule. If the report is filed not later than 30 days after the date it is due, the penalty is one-tenth of one percent of the total wages paid for the quarter. For each additional 30-day period or its fraction, the penalty is an additional one-tenth of one percent of the total wages paid for the quarter. However, the penalty may not exceed one-half of one percent of the total wages paid for the quarter in the aggregate and may not be less than $10 for each reporting period.

(e) The department may require an employer who fails to file a contribution report and wage schedule on the date it is due to file a monthly contribution report and wage schedule, with payment, not later than 30 days after the close of each month. A decision under this subsection shall be reviewed annually under regulations adopted by the department. The monthly contribution report and wage schedule is subject to the same interest and penalty provisions as provided in this section and in AS 23.20.185 .
