Most employees need to be covered under workers’ compensation laws, but there are a few exceptions.WC Exceptions
- employees of businesses with fewer than four employees
- employees of businesses with a total annual payroll of less than $3,000
- agricultural workers
- some realtors
- employees of railway express and railroad companies
- some casual (or temporary) employees

Illnesses or conditions caused by exposure to harmful conditions (such as mold) or products (such as caustic chemicals) are all covered. If your employees are injured in this way at work in South Carolina, they may be entitled to benefits under workers’ compensation law.
