H4751

South Carolina H4751 mandates overtime pay for eligible employees working more than eight hours in a workday or forty hours in a workweek.

South Carolina H4751 amends the state code to require employers to pay overtime wages at a rate of at least one and a half times the regular rate of pay for hours worked over eight in a single workday or forty in a workweek. The bill outlines exceptions, including certain executive, administrative, or professional employees, those in retail or service businesses earning more than four times the minimum wage primarily through commissions, and others exempt under federal law. It also prohibits unpaid trial or introductory periods. The act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
