Retailers Assoc. offers $1,000 workforce incentive

The South Dakota Retailers Association is launching a new cash incentive designed to address the workforce shortage in retail, restaurants, hospitality, grocery, trades, and many other businesses. Individuals from out-of-state who come to work in South Dakota can receive a $1,000 workforce incentive.

This $1,000 cash payment from the Retailers Association would supplement any hiring bonuses or other incentives offered by an individual business.

The incentive will be paid directly to an employee hired from out-of-state to work in a Retailers Association member-business. To be eligible, an employee must work at least 30 hours per week for 90 days at a physical location in South Dakota. to learn more, visit sdra.org.
