    Frequently asked questions

    Does South Dakota have daily overtime?

    No. South Dakota only requires overtime for hours over 40 in a workweek, following federal law. Working 10 hours in one day does not by itself earn overtime.

    What is the overtime rate in South Dakota?

    Overtime is paid at 1.5 times your regular rate. At $20 an hour, that is $30 an hour for overtime.

    Who is not eligible for overtime?

    Employees classified as exempt, usually salaried executives, administrators and professionals who meet federal and state salary and duties tests, are not entitled to overtime. Independent contractors are not covered either.

    Can my employer average hours over two weeks?

    No. Under federal law, each workweek stands alone. Working 50 hours one week and 30 the next still earns 10 hours of overtime for the first week.
