New South Carolina SOC code and hours worked requirements for quarterly reporting

Employers must now include the following as part of the quarterly State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) reporting:

·       The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes for each employee.

·       Hours Worked for each employee.

 See additional information at https://dew.sc.gov/employers/SOC.

 Important: Failure to report these additional fields may result in penalties and/or rejection of quarterly SUI reports filed.

 What you need to do

·       Locate the SOC Codes for all your South Carolina-based employees from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) website: https://www.bls.gov/soc.

o   Resources are also available at https://dew.sc.gov/employers/SOC

 ·       Update SOC Codes in My TotalSource®.

o   The SOC code is located under Employee Management > HR > Employee Update > Taxes > State SOC 

Important notes

·       ADP TotalSource^® will file your South Carolina SUI report with the Agency.

·       For the first quarter of 2024 (1Q24), ADP will be reporting a default number of hours worked for each employee. 

 ·       For the second quarter of 2024 (2Q24) and beyond, ADP will report the hours you provide through your payroll.

 ·       SOC code inputs should be completed with your March payroll processing, to ensure this required data is included on your first quarter SUI reporting to South Carolina.
