S.C. Code Regs. 19-716.02. EDUCATIONAL LEAVE

An employee is encouraged to schedule classes during off-duty hours, whenever possible. When a class cannot be scheduled during off-duty hours, the agency may adjust the employee’s work schedule, if doing so will not interfere with normal efficient operations of the agency. When a class cannot be scheduled during off-duty hours, and the agency does not adjust the work schedule of an employee, at the discretion of the agency, an employee may be allowed to take annual leave or be granted leave without pay in order to attend classes.
