S.C. Code Regs. § 19-718.03

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 5, May 24, 2024

Section 19-718.03 - COVERED EMPLOYEES AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES

A. "Covered employee" means a full-time or part-time employee occupying a part or all of an established full-time equivalent (FTE) position who has completed the probationary period and has a "meets" or higher overall rating on the employee's performance evaluation and who has grievance rights. Instructional personnel are covered upon the completion of one academic year except for faculty at State technical colleges of not more than two full academic years' duration. If an employee does not receive an evaluation before the performance review date, the employee must be considered to have performed in a satisfactory manner and be a covered employee. This definition does not include employees in positions such as temporary, temporary grant, or time-limited employees who do not have grievance rights.

B. Throughout the grievance and appeal process, each covered employee may be represented and advised by counsel or other representative or be self-represented.

C. The Act exempts certain employees from its provisions as noted in Section 8-17-370 of the South Carolina Code of Laws.
