US Dept of Labor - Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a career pathway that includes a paid-work component and an educational or instructional component, where an individual can obtain workplace-relevant knowledge and skills. By combining on-the-job learning with related classroom instruction, an apprentice's skill level-and their benefit to you-increases.

Since apprenticeship is a flexible model, programs can be customized to meet the needs of nearly every type of business and can be integrated into existing training and human resource development practices.

Employer Filings

Submitting Withholding Tax (SCDOR)
Withholding Tax is taken out of taxpayer wages to go towards the taxpayers' total yearly income tax liability. Every employer/withholding agent that has an employee earning wages in South Carolina (and who is required to file a return or deposit with the IRS) must make a return or deposit to the SCDOR for any taxes that have been withheld for state purposes.

Submitting Quarterly Contribution and Wage Report (SCDEW)
Employers must file a quarterly contribution and wage report each quarter. The State Unemployment Insurance Tax System (SUITS) makes it easy for employers to file online. If you have an account with DEW, but have not used SUITS, you will need to authenticate your account to get started. To do so, click here. If you do not have an account number and need to register for an account with DEW, click here.
