Employees of most South Carolina employers are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. South Carolina workers’ compensation law broadly defines who is an employee. It includes both adult and minors, and both full-time and part-time workers. The deciding factor in determining whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor is the degree of control the employer has over the worker.
