S.C. Code Ann. § 8-11-120
In addition to any other requirement provided by law, when a job vacancy occurs in any state office, agency, department, or other division of the executive branch of state government, the appointing authority must post a notice with the Office of Human Resources of the Department of Administration and the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce at least five working days before employing a person to fill the vacancy. The posting must give notice of the job vacancy, describe the duties to be performed by a person employed in that position, and include any other information required by law.
For purposes of this section, "appointing authority" shall have the same meaning as in Section 8-11-220.
HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 1-42.4; 1972 (57) 2429; 1990 Act No. 484, Section 1, eff May 29, 1990; 2009 Act No. 29, Section 2, eff June 2, 2009.
Pursuant to the directive to the Code Commissioner in 2010 Act No. 146, Section 122, "Department of Employment and Workforce" was substituted for all references to "Employment Security Commission", and "Executive Director of the Department of Employment and Workforce" or "executive director" was substituted for all references to the "Chairman of the Employment Security Commission" or "chairman" that refer to the Chairman of the Employment Security Commission, as appropriate.
At the direction of the Code Commissioner, references in this section to the offices of the former State Budget and Control Board, Office of the Governor, or other agencies, were changed to reflect the transfer of them to the Department of Administration or other entities, pursuant to the directive of the South Carolina Restructuring Act, 2014 Act No. 121, Section 5(D)(1), effective July 1, 2015.
The 1990 amendment rewrote this section, dividing it into subsections (A)-(C), to provide that notification of vacancies in classified positions must be given at least seven working days prior to the close of the application period, to prescribe the information which must be contained in such notification, and to set out what positions are exempt from these requirements.
The 2009 amendment rewrote this section.
