South Carolina Wage Payment Timing Requirements

Employers in South Carolina must comply with these state rules regarding the timing and frequency of wage payments.

Employers are subject to South Carolina's wage payment law, except for employers of domestic labor in private homes or employers employing fewer than five employees at all times during the preceding 12 months.

At the time of hire, employers must notify employees in writing of the time and place of payment. Employers may give written notification by posting the terms conspicuously at or near the workplace.

Changes to these terms must be made in writing at least seven calendar days before they become effective.
