I’ve compiled a few key FLSA resources for South Carolina employees who are interested in learning more about their specific FLSA situation.
- U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division for South Carolina
- If you have an overtime or minimum wage claim, you can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). DOL will investigate and can attempt to recover money on your behalf, although they are often backed up and resolution of a case can take quite a while.
- S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation, Wages and Child Labor
- For unpaid wages, you can contact the LLR and file a complaint. However, the LLR, unlike the DOL, cannot force the employer to pay you your wages. The LLR may investigate and can issue a fine to the employer, but you will have to bring a lawsuit to get the money you’re owed.
