55 P.3d 732 (2002)

Globen A. DIAZ, for Himself and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated, Appellant, v. SILVER BAY LOGGING, INC., Appellee.

Supreme Court of Alaska.

September 27, 2002.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Laurel K. Tatsuda, Law Office of Laurel K. Tatsuda, Anchorage, for Appellant.

Robert K. Reges, Jr., Ruddy, Bradley, Kolkhorst & Reges, Juneau, for Appellee.

Before: FABE, Chief Justice, MATTHEWS, EASTAUGH, and BRYNER, Justices.

OPINION

MATTHEWS, Justice.

The main question in this case is whether a regulation prohibiting an employer from deducting the costs of food and lodging from an employee's pay applies to all such deductions or only those that reduce the employee's pay below the minimum wage. We conclude that the latter meaning applies because the language of the regulation will not reasonably support the former meaning.
