RE:		South Carolina posters & flyers

DATE:	April 1, 2008

I have reviewed the poster requirements for South Carolina and provide you with the following information:

POSTERS

South Carolina has a state website that provides a list of the required posters.  The posters in South Carolina can be found at the following URL address:  http://www.llr.state.sc.us/AboutUs/index.asp?file=Posters.htm

The state required posters are:

	1.	Payment of Wages
	2.	Safety and Health Protection on the Job
	3.	Employment Discrimination
	4.	Workers’ Compensation
	5.	Unemployment Insurance

Payment of Wages:

The only change to this poster is within the address section that is approximately 2/3 of the way down the poster.  Within the address, there is a telephone number that currently reads “803-734-9627.”  That telephone number should now read: “803-896-4470.”

Employment Discrimination

The poster is correct as is.

Safety & Health Protection

I find the following need to be corrected:

	1.	In the first full paragraph, there is a typographical error.  It currently reads “Longshorement,” but it should read “Longshoremen.”

	2.	Under the “Employees” section, second paragraph - It currently reads “ . . . filing a complaint will note revealed . . .”  It should read “. . . filing a complaint will not be revealed . . .”

	3.	At the bottom of the poster is an address and telephone number for the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.  Please revise the telephone number in that address to read: “(803) 896-7688.”

Workers’ Compensation

http://www.llr.state.sc.us/AboutUs/MediaCenter/pidocs/WorkplacePosters/workscompspanish.pdf   (Spanish version)

The text of the poster is correct as is.

However, there is a formatting issue in that paragraph #3 under the “If you are injured on the job” is indented when it should not be.  It does not line up with paragraphs 1 and 2.

Unemployment Insurance
http://www.llr.state.sc.us/AboutUs/MediaCenter/pidocs/WorkplacePosters/UnemploymentInsurance.pdf
http://www.llr.state.sc.us/AboutUs/MediaCenter/pidocs/WorkplacePosters/UnemInsuranceSpanish.pdf   (Spanish version)

The only change in this poster is that the city names of Hartsville and Horry need to be on separate lines.

Additional poster information:
Currently, MPA has a second unemployment insurance poster that is in the center of poster number 2.  This poster can be deleted because it has the same information that is contained at the bottom of the first unemployment insurance poster.
