Interstate Reciprocal Coverage Arrangement
If workers customarily work in more than one state, the employer may apply for a Reciprocal Coverage Arrangement. This arrangement, if granted, lets the employer report all such workers, provided they live or perform part of their services in South Carolina.
Covered Employer
"Covered employer" means an employing unit subject to DEW law either because of its number of workers and employment duration, amount of wages paid, nature of employment, or through voluntary election. Details
Duration of Coverage
An employing unit that becomes an employer voluntarily or otherwise, must file contribution and wage reports with DEW and pay quarterly contributions for at least two calendar years—the year liability was incurred or assumed and the following year. Once an employer becomes legally liable, liability continues each year and contribution and wage reports must be filed and contributions paid, regardless of the number of employees until termination of coverage is granted.

UI Coverage for School-to-Work Participants
SCES law considers individuals under 22 enrolled at a non-profit or public educational institution in a full-time program combining academic instruction with work experience as exempt employment. Why? Because the individual is a student participating in work-based learning under the School-To-Work Program. A School-To-Work coordinator within the educational institution must complete and forward a "Form STW-UI-1, School-To-Work Exempted Employment Certification" to the employer for students employed in this program. If we audit an employer employing a student enrolled in this program, the employer must have a "certified copy" from the educational institution to exempt the student’s wages.
