South Carolina Pharmacist Drained Her Retirement, Still Had to Close Georgetown Shop

Novant Health apologizes after 40K workers don't get paid on time. Here's what happened

Novant Health, which has a growing health care empire across the Carolinas including Hilton Head, was forced to explain and apologize to its 40,000 employees Friday after a technology mix-up led to workers not getting paid on time. The check delay was first reported by WFMY News in Greensboro, N.C. The TV station reported being contacted by a few Novant employees who said that they had not received their pay. The delay was later confirmed by Novant. Novant Health switched to a new payroll distribution vendor in October, according to a statement from a Novant spokesperson issued to the Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette at noon Friday. “Following that transition, we identified a technology issue that impacted the arrival time of deposits into each financial institution’s account,” the statement said. “Payroll has been completed, and funds have been transmitted to financial institutions for deposit.” ADP, Novant’s payroll vendor, has confirmed that payments will reach bank accounts Friday, the spokesperson said. The company apologized for the frustration and concern the delay caused and said it was working to make sure it does not happen again. Employees who received overdrafts or returned payment charges as a result of the delay in paycheck

A home's flood history can disappear between South Carolina owners. Here's how

South Carolina property owners need to disclose a number of items when selling a home, but what does the law say about flooding? The South Carolina Residential Property Condition Disclosure Act requires sellers to include information about flood history and insurance. A resident selling their home must disclose flood hazards and flood zones, whether the property is covered by public or private flood insurance, the number of flood claims during ownership, repairs as a result of a flood event and whether the property has received federal flood disaster assistance. Sellers are required to answer the above questions during their ownership and to the best of their knowledge. But Luke Anderson, a local real estate agent for Spero Realty, said the state’s property disclosure form has a slight loophole for disclosing flood history if the property has had multiple prior owners. If a property floods for the first owner but not the second owner, the second owner would not need to disclose flood damage if it did not occur during their ownership and if they did not have knowledge of the previous flood history. A third owner could purchase a property prone to flooding and not know its flood history since

Johns Island is one of Charleston’s fastest-growing areas. Its food scene is changing with it.

JOHNS ISLAND — Sidi Limehouse barely pressed the pedal of his Ford pickup as he crawled through a field of figs on a steamy July day. The fruit is fashionable among those who have flocked to this once-rural sea island, the owner of Rosebank Farms said, his voice barely audible over the hum of the cool air flowing from the vents. His sprawling farm sits within the kind of development he used to fight fiercely. But the owners of Kiawah River, a master-planned community said to be centered on sustainability, have promoted the growth of his crops alongside the construction of pristine pickleball c...

Detyens said it began working on the Victory I at its dry dock along the Cooper River in September and provided “layberthing, storage, …. repairs and other necessaries” in a...
