S.C. state salary database
HELPFUL HINTS
* You can search by partial name statewide, a partial name in an agency, or all employees in an agency.
* To search by name, type in all or part of a name. (Example: "presley" or "pres" or "elvis".) Then choose an agency, or hit "Submit" to search all agencies.
* To search by agency, just pull down the agency's name and hit "Submit." Leave the name blank.
* Sort the results: By last name, by agency, or by (highest to lowest) or (lowest to highest) salary.
How old is the data and where does it come from? The State obtains the data through S.C. Freedom of Information Act requests. The S.C. Budget and Control Board supplies about 81 percent of the more than 18,800 records in the database. That data was current as of April 8, 2008.
FOIA requests are sent separately to the agencies listed below. Salary data for these agencies was put in the database on the dates given.

Generally, salaries of state employees earning less than $50,000 a year are available in $4,000 ranges from the Budget and Control Board, or, for the agencies listed above, directly from the agency of interest.
Why do we publish this data? A majority of agencies, commissions and other entities contained in this database pay employees through state appropriations. Some receive no state money and operate by generating their own revenue. They are included here because they were established to serve the public interest, were started with public money, and their payrolls are part of the public record.
