South Dakotans
to See Minimum Wage Increase
Workers in South Dakota will benefit from an increase to the minimum wage on January 1, 2023. The hourly minimum wage will move from $9.95 per hour to $10.80 per hour.
The minimum wage is annually adjusted by any increase in the cost of living, as measured in the Consumer Price Index published by the U.S. Department of Labor. South Dakota implements this annual increase as established by SDCL 60-11-3.2, a law passed by the South Dakota Legislature that took effect on January 1, 2016.
The hourly minimum wage for tipped employees will be $5.40 per hour, half the minimum wage for non-tipped employees. Wages and tips combined must equal at least the minimum wage.
These increases will apply to all South Dakota employers, with some limited exceptions.
