South Carolina state employee raises for the 2024-2025 fiscal year are a significant topic of discussion, as they have the potential to impact the lives of thousands of state workers. The raises are part of a larger effort to address the rising cost of living and to ensure that state employees are fairly compensated for their work.
The proposed raises would vary depending on the employee’s position and years of service. However, all state employees would receive a minimum raise of 5%. This would be the largest pay increase for state employees in over a decade. The raises are expected to cost the state approximately $100 million.
