Sioux Falls does not impose a hotel-specific living-wage rule; SD law (SDCL §60-11-3) preempts local minimum-wage ordinances, leaving hotel pay to the CPI-indexed state minimum near $11.50 plus market rates.
Unlike Los Angeles or Long Beach, Sioux Falls has no hotel living-wage ordinance setting a higher floor for housekeepers, front-desk staff, or banquet workers. South Dakota Codified Law §60-11-3 prohibits any city or county from setting a minimum wage above the state floor, which is annually CPI-indexed and currently near $11.50 per hour for non-tipped workers and a separate tipped-minimum. Hotels nonetheless compete in a tight Sioux Falls labor market, often paying well above the state floor for night-audit, housekeeping, and restaurant positions, and unionization is rare in the local hospitality sector.
Because SD preempts local wage minimums, hotels paying at or above the CPI-indexed state minimum are compliant; underpayment triggers SD Department of Labor wage-and-hour claims and federal FLSA actions.
