Description – 2027 South Dakota State and Federal Combo Poster

South Dakota is one of the few states where the minimum wage moves every year without a new law: voters approved inflation indexing in 2014, so the rate climbed from $11.50 to $11.85 per hour on January 1, 2026, and is already set at $12.30 for January 1, 2027. The tipped wage is unusual too — exactly half the standard rate — and the state follows federal overtime rules rather than writing its own. This 2027 South Dakota combo carries the state’s minimum-wage, reemployment-assistance, and workers’-compensation notices together with the federal notices on one laminated poster.

• South Dakota’s minimum wage is $11.85 per hour effective January 1, 2026, up from $11.50 in 2025, under SDCL 60-11-3, which adjusts the rate annually for changes in the Consumer Price Index following voter-approved Initiated Measure 18 (2014). The Department of Labor and Regulation’s own FAQ confirms the $11.85 rate for 2026 and states the January 1, 2027 rate will be $12.30 per hour. The state rate always controls over the $7.25 federal rate where both apply. Source: South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation, “Employment Laws — Minimum Wage FAQ”
• South Dakota’s tipped cash wage is exactly half the standard minimum wage under SDCL 60-11-3.2: $5.925 per hour in 2026 (commonly stated as $5.93), and cash wages plus tips must reach the full $11.85 rate, with the employer funding any shortfall in the workweek. South Dakota has no daily overtime threshold: overtime follows the federal FLSA at one-and-one-half times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.

• South Dakota employers must display state and federal posters in conspicuous locations accessible to all employees, including the South Dakota Minimum Wage poster, the Reemployment Assistance (unemployment insurance) notice, and the Workers’ Compensation Notice. South Dakota also requires employers to give employees two hours of paid time off to vote when they do not have sufficient time outside working hours.
