South Carolina paystub law

What South Carolina law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

South Carolina Code § 41-10-30 (Payment of Wages Act) requires employers to provide each employee with a written statement showing wages paid and deductions for each pay period. The South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation enforces wage-claim disputes. Paydays must be on a regular schedule established by the employer (most employers run bi-weekly). South Carolina has a graduated state income tax (top marginal around 6.4%, transitioning lower).

Using a South Carolina paystub for proof of income

Charleston's rental market has tightened with population growth — Mount Pleasant and downtown landlords typically require 3× rent gross + 30 days of stubs. Automotive employees at BMW (Greer / Spartanburg) and Volvo (Charleston / Berkeley County) produce standardized institutional paystubs. Tourism workers along the coast (Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Kiawah) often have strongly seasonal income; many seasonal-area landlords accept multi-month stub history alongside any visa or contract documentation.
