My name is Peter Kaufman, I'm an attorney here at Joye Law Firm, and one of the areas
of our practice is Employment Law. We are an 'employment at will' state, which generally
speaking gives the employers all the power. But one thing the employer cannot do is mess
with your wages. The South Carolina Payment of Wages Act affords you, the employee, layers
of protection. If you've left your place of employment, the employer is required to pay
you all wages due within 48 hours from the date of separation or on the employer's next
regularly scheduled pay period not to exceed 30 days. If you are still working, for the
employer, but you think something is wrong with your wages, you should know that each
pay day you're entitled to receive an itemized statement of gross wages and deductions, the
employer must keep records of your wage payments for three years, they must give you written
notice of any changes to your wages and hours other than salary increase, 7 calendar days
in advance of the change. So, if you believe that there might be an issue with your payment
of wages and you've been treated unfairly by your employer, Just Call Joye!
