Filed as: Reemployment Assistance Division, Seasonal Employer Designation Change and Administrative Procedural Change
South Dakota employers classified as retail nurseries must now use industry number 444240 instead of 444220 for reemployment assistance tax purposes, and their seasonal employment period remains May first through October thirty-first. The Department of Labor and Regulation has also repealed the requirement that hearing examiners issue decisions within ten days, removing that specific timeline from the appeals process. Additionally, all date references in the seasonal employer rules have been reformatted to write out dates in words rather than numerals (for example, "May 1" is now "May first"), and reference information for the industry classification manual has been updated to direct users to a free online source instead of outdated contact information for print copies.

The effect of these rules will be to revise the industry number for retail nurseries in seasonal employer designations and repeal the ten-day administrative decision timeline for reemployment assistance appeals.
