South Carolina Code of Regulations
Chapter 47 - DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT AND WORKFORCE
Article 4 - UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
Section 47-100 - Cause Other Than Misconduct

Under South Carolina Code Annotated Section 41-35-120(2)(b), if a claimant is discharged for cause other than misconduct, the claimant is partially disqualified from unemployment insurance benefits. "Cause other than misconduct" is conduct that demonstrates a level of fault of the employee but does not rise to the level of deliberate disregard for the standards of behavior which the employer has the right to expect of his or her employee. Fault includes those acts or omissions of employees over which an employee exercised reasonable control and which violate reasonable requirements of the job.
