South Dakota would establish a prevailing wage requirement for all public works construction and maintenance projects funded by state money, requiring contractors to pay workers based on the highest wage rates and benefits paid to similar workers in that county or area. The bill caps the standard workweek at 40 hours and the workday at 8 hours, and requires contractors to pay for health, welfare, vacation, and pension benefits in addition to hourly wages. This ensures that workers on state-funded construction projects receive compensation matching what the majority of workers in their trade earn locally.
