An Act to establish certain pay provisions for state employees working shifts longer than eight hours a day.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of South Dakota:

Section 1. That § 3-6C-20 be AMENDED:

3-6C-20. Holidays, other than Sundays, enumerated in § 1-5-1, are a benefit for permanent employees including those who are not scheduled to work the day on which a holiday falls. A permanent employee shall receive holiday pay if the employee works at least one shift or is on approved paid leave during the calendar week in which the holiday falls. Part-time permanent employees shall receive prorated holiday pay.

For payroll and leave purposes, a holiday on which an employee does not work is no:

(1) No more than eight hours long; or

(2) For an employee who is hourly and normally works a shift that is longer than eight hours on the day of the workweek on which the holiday falls, the longer shift rounded up to the nearest hour.

When an hourly employee must work on the date a holiday is observed, the holiday pay is the greater of the hours in subdivision 2 or the total hours worked, or the hours in subdivision 1 or 2, as applicable. Holiday pay for an hourly, permanent, part-time employee who must work on the date a holiday is observed is the greater of either the prorated amount or total hours worked.

Section 2. That chapter 3-6C be amended with a NEW SECTION:

A non-salaried state employee, whether permanent or temporary, who is scheduled to work a shift that is twelve hours or longer in a single workweek, must be paid at the overtime rate for any hours actually worked in excess of thirty-six hours in that workweek.
