FAQ

In South Carolina, there is no state-specific law that limits the number of hours an adult employee can work straight in a single day or week. However, certain industry-specific regulations and collective bargaining agreements may impose limits to ensure safety and protect workers' rights.

Presently, no OSHA standard to regulate extended and unusual shifts in the workplace exists. A work period of eight consecutive hours over five days with at least eight hours of rest in between shifts defines a standard shift. Any shift that goes beyond this standard is considered to be extended or unusual.

What are the Maximum Weekly Working Hours in South Carolina? In South Carolina, there are no state laws that implement the maximum working hours that is permissible for an employee to work in a week and the same holds true for the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

174.1 (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), an employee may refuse to work the overtime requested by the employer in order to fulfil any family responsibility set out in subsection 206.6(1).
