This bill expands South Dakota's unemployment insurance law to formally recognize "common paymasters" as employers. A common paymaster is a business entity that handles payroll and pays employees for two or more related companies, and under this change, the common paymaster is now considered an employing unit responsible for unemployment insurance purposes.
