South Dakota rules that this document follows

State prevailing-wage law	No — South Dakota has no state prevailing-wage (“little Davis-Bacon”) law: state- and locally funded construction carries no state prevailing wage or certified payroll obligation. The federal Davis-Bacon and Related Acts still apply to any project that is federally funded or federally assisted.Source: U.S. DOL, Wage and Hour Division, Dollar Threshold Amounts for Contract Coverage Under State Prevailing Wage Laws (Jan. 1, 2023)
Certified payroll on state projects	Not required as a routine filing to the federal contracting agency (federally funded work only). No state certified payroll is required. On federally funded or federally assisted construction the weekly certified payroll and signed Statement of Compliance are filed under the federal rule, on Form WH-347 or any form with identical wording.Source: 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a)(3)(ii)
Contract threshold	No state threshold — only the federal $2,000 Davis-Bacon contract threshold applies, and only to federally funded or assisted construction.Source: 40 U.S.C. § 3142(a)
Record retention	3 years — On federally funded work the contractor keeps payroll and basic records for three years after all the work on the prime contract is completed.Source: 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a)(3)(i)
Federal WH-347 accepted	Yes — Form WH-347 (or a form with identical wording) is the payroll form used on the federally funded work performed in this state.Source: 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a)(3)(ii)
Federal requirement	Contractors and subcontractors must submit weekly certified payrolls to the federal agency that is a party to the contract or, where the agency is not a party, to the applicant, sponsor, owner or other entity that maintains the records for transmission to the federal agency.Source: 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a)(3)(ii)
Statement of compliance	Each weekly payroll must be accompanied by a signed Statement of Compliance — page 2 of Form WH-347 or any document with identical wording — executed by the contractor, subcontractor, or the authorized officer or employee who supervises the payment of wages, and signed with an original handwritten signature or a legally valid electronic signature.Source: 29 C.F.R. § 3.3(b)
Worker identification	The payroll submitted to the agency must not contain the worker's full social security number or home address; it shows an individual identifying number, such as the last four digits of the social security number.Source: 29 C.F.R. § 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(A); Form WH-347 instructions, column 1E
Overtime	On covered contracts, laborers and mechanics must be paid one and one-half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek.Source: 40 U.S.C. § 3702(a) (Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act)
