"New employees and executive staff will be barred from working remotely, according to a news release. Additionally, approved employees can work remotely two days a week, at most. "The law requires these policies be designed to achieve cost savings and greater efficiencies in the operation of state government," McMaster said in a news release. "They are not designed to suit a desired lifestyle or a personal preference.""
"Employees must work for a state agency for a year before they can work remotely. Agency directors and directors who report to them can't telecommute. Additionally, employees with an unsatisfactory performance review must work in person. For employees that are approved to work remotely, they can telecommute two days a week. Those days cannot be Monday and Tuesday, Thursday and Friday or Friday followed by the next Monday."
South Carolina state government will implement uniform remote work rules across all agencies. New employees and executive-level staff are barred from telecommuting. Approved employees may work remotely up to two days per week, with specific prohibited day combinations. Agencies must have telecommuting policies approved by the state's human resources department, which can revoke remote-work privileges for noncompliance or quality impacts. Employees must complete one year of service before becoming eligible for telework. Agency directors and their direct reports cannot telecommute. Employees with unsatisfactory performance reviews must work in person. Remote work was used during the COVID-19 pandemic and employees were recalled in March 2021.
