Senate Bill 179 creates new worker protections for employees at large warehouse distribution centers in South Dakota by establishing rules around work quotas and performance tracking. The law applies to employers with at least 100 employees at a single warehouse or 500 across multiple warehouses, and defines key terms like "employee work speed data" and "quota" to set up a framework for regulating how these employers monitor and measure worker productivity.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
