Applications - South Dakota

Summary of differences between federal and state regulations

There is no one federal law that specifically addresses employment applications, although there are record retention guidelines under a variety of federal laws (see the Recordkeeping topic) and non-discrimination provisions for hiring in general (see the Discrimination topic).  

It is a discriminatory practice for an employer, because of race, color, creed, religion, sex, ancestry, disability, or national origin, to refuse to hire or to give unequal treatment to any person with respect to application, hiring, training, compensation, and other terms or conditions of employment. §20-13-10 

A pre-employment inquiry in connection with prospective employment which expresses any discrimination concerning sex is unlawful unless it is based upon a bona fide occupational qualification. §20:03:09:10
