South Dakota employment screening law: Giving Employment References in South Dakota

South Dakota law protects employers who provide references. The law says the employer is not liable when it discloses in writing, information about the job performance of a current or former employee to a prospective employer on a written request. Any such request must be made available to the former employee at their written request. The presumption of good faith may be cancelled by evidence showing the employer provided misleading information or disclosure of information not allowed by a nondisclosure agreement or considered confidential pursuant to law. (SD §60-4-12)

South Dakota employment screening law: South Dakota At Will State Law

In South Dakota employees not working under an employment contract are deemed to be "at will." In South Dakota, at-will employees may be terminated for any reason, so long as it's not illegal. Employees may not be terminated at will if any of the following apply:

  • Terminations that violate public policy
  • Employees with express "for cause only" agreements or implied "for cause only" cases where an employee handbook contains a detailed list of exclusive grounds for discharge and a mandatory specific procedure that the employer agrees to follow
  • Employees that have accepted employment after being promised future promotion to a certain position

Please note that Federal law mandates background checks for employees who are engaged in particular industries. The Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services maintains a list of individuals who are excluded from participation in any of its federally-funded healthcare programs. Exclusions are due to convictions for program-related fraud and patient abuse, licensing board actions and default on health education assistance loans. Therefore, employers in affected industries should check the OIG Exclusion list before hiring employees who might work in such programs. The FACIS program is also very important when screening medical personnel. Click Here for more information on FACIS.
