Employers, the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Employer Handbook is officially live!
The S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce is here to help you move from unemployment to reemployment. Our goal is to match jobseekers with employers quickly, efficiently and effectively.
From unemployment insurance benefits to personalized reemployment services, our agency provides robust services to support South Carolina's labor force and economic development.
We are pleased to announce that longtime DEW employee, Jake Sherbert, has become the agency's Chief Financial Officer (CFO). In this role he is responsible for managing the financial actions of the agency including grant activity, the contingency fund, benefit payments and reporting, as well as analyzing and advising agency direction for the UI Trust Fund, and other state and federal funding programs.
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes are the federal standard used to classify workers into the specific category that best matches their job. Each of your employees can be classified in one of 867 detailed occupations listed. For more information and to search for specific SOC codes, visit https://dew.sc.gov/employers/SOC.
Ask general, unemployment-related questions with the UI Webform. For security reasons, no specific claim information can be shared, but ask broad questions and avoid telephone wait times.
El formulario web del seguro de desempleo le permite hacer preguntas del desempleo a la agencia. Por razones de seguridad, no se puede compartir información personal pero plantear preguntas generales y pueda evitar esperas al teléfono.
