All employees should be aware of their responsibilities under South Carolina workers' compensation law. See the SAF Employee Handbook for more information. Employees must notify their employer immediately when an on-the-job injury occurs. Failure to notify the employer within ninety (90) days after an accident may deprive them of their right to benefits. Injured employees cannot receive benefits until the employer files a Workers Compensation - First Report of Injury or Illness (ACORD 4 Form / WCC Form 12-A) with the State Accident Fund.
