Summary of difference between federal and state regulations

Jury duty
South Carolina law doesn’t require employers to pay employees for jury duty.
South Carolina law requires state employees to be paid for jury duty. The employee also keeps any jury fees and travel payment.
Voting
South Carolina doesn’t have a time-off-for-voting provision.
Respond to a subpoena
South Carolina law provides that employers of victims and witnesses must not retaliate against or suspend or reduce the wages and benefits of a victim or witness who lawfully responds to a subpoena. If employers willfully violate this provision, they will be held in contempt of court.
