(c) Except as provided in (e) of this section, a person under 18 years of age who is scheduled to work for six consecutive hours or more is entitled to a break of at least 30 minutes during the course of the work shift. The break required by this subsection may be scheduled at the convenience of the employer but must occur after the first hour and a half of work and before the beginning of the last hour of work. A person under 18 years of age who works for five consecutive hours without a break is entitled to a break of at least 30 minutes before continuing to work. This subsection may be modified by the terms of a collective bargaining agreement that covers the employment of the person under 18. This subsection may be modified on occasion by mutual agreement between the employer and the employee.

(d) Notwithstanding AS 23.10.055 (11), failure to provide the unpaid break periods required by (c) of this section creates a minimum wage liability under AS 23.10.065 for the break that the employee did not receive or received late. A claim for minimum wage in lieu of the unpaid break is enforceable under AS 23.10.110 .

(e) The provisions of (c) of this section do not apply to

(1) an individual employed in the catching, trapping, cultivating or farming, netting, or taking of any kind of fish, shellfish, or other aquatic forms of animal and vegetable life;
