<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F3864"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F3864">The state of South Carolina has not undertaken a wholesale review of classifications to determine if degree requirements can be removed or experience equivalencies can be added.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F3864"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F3864">We have reviewed multiple class series in the last several years, however, and have removed degree requirements or added experience equivalency language where we believed it was appropriate.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F3864"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F3864">Agencies have had the ability to request that DSHR approve equivalencies to minimum degree requirements. The State Human Resources Regulation is below. The consultant assigned to the requesting agency would approve
the equivalency; not the State Human Resources Director as the Regulation states. In December 2022, approval of equivalencies to classification minimum requirements was delegated to agencies. Please see the attached memo communicating this change to agencies
for additional information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">19-702.03 CLASS SPECIFICATIONS <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A. Each class specification shall describe in general terms examples of the kind of work and level of responsibility normally assigned positions that may be allocated to the class. The exact duties and responsibilities of positions allocated
to any one class may differ; however, all positions allocated to a class shall be sufficiently similar as to kind of work, level of difficulty or responsibility, and qualification requirements.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">B. The Division of State Human Resources shall develop class specifications which include the following:<span style="color:#1F3864"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">7. Minimum Requirements - a statement of the minimum combination of education and experience required for the satisfactory performance of the duties of positions in the class, but not necessarily fully descriptive
of the education and experience required for any one position in the class. For an equivalency to substitute for the minimum requirements, an agency must submit a written request to the State Human Resources Director for approval.<span style="color:#1F3864"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
