Termination of Employment Employment relationships in South Dakota may be 'terminated at will,' which means an employer does not need a specific reason to fire an employee.
Separation pay is granted only to employees who are dismissed. With regard to contractual employees, when the contract with their employer ends, what actually takes place is an expiration of term and not a dismissal in legal contemplation. In the absence of an actual dismissal, there can be no claim for separation pay.
A wrongful termination or wrongful dismissal occurs when a company unlawfully lays off or fires an employee. The majority of terminations are legal under South Dakota law, but sometimes companies deliberately or unknowingly break a law or violate a contract when ending the employee-employer relationship.
Just cause terminations: If the offense charged against the employee is proven, the employer is not required to grant separation pay. But if the employer fails to observe due process, he may be financially liable to the employee, even as the dismissal is upheld.
