Employers in South Carolina are required by law to post the South Carolina posters that highlight the state and federal labor and employment laws.  These posters need to be posted in a visible spot within an area where all employees have access.  Possible places include the employee break room, work room, mail room or any place else that the employees tend to visit on a regular basis.  In addition to choosing the best posting place, South Carolina employers must also make sure that their posters also contain the most current information because labor and employment laws change frequently (sometimes even yearly).

The South Carolina posters need to contain certain state and federal laws to be complete.  The state laws that employers need to have posted are the Right-to-Work Laws, Payment of Wages, Child Labor, OSHA, Discrimination Notice, Workers’ Compensation and Unemployment Insurance.  They also need to post the following federal laws: USERRA – Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act, Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law, Federal Minimum Wage, Employee Polygraph Protection Act, Family and Medical Leave Act and OSHA – Job Safety and Health Protection.

The posting requirements for the South Carolina posters have the primary purpose of giving the employees the information they need to know and understand their rights in the workplace as outlined by the state and federal laws.  The laws also often have the information employees need if they want to file a grievance against their employer including which state and federal agencies they need to contact.  Employers also benefit from the information on the South Carolina posters because they can use them to find out exactly what they need to do to uphold the labor laws that apply to them.  They can also very easily reference the posters when they have specific questions about certain laws such as how many hours minors are allowed to work during the school year.
