1Opinion of the CourtGeathers, J.
Appellants (Inmates), 196 current or former inmates participating in a Prison Industries service project operated by Respondent South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC), challenge an order of the South Carolina Administrative Law Court (ALC) upholding SCDC’s denial of Inmates’ grievances. Inmates argue their grievances invoking the Prevailing Wage Statute1 were not subject to SCDC’s fifteen-day filing deadline because these grievances concerned SCDC policy rather than an “incident.” We reverse and remand for consideration of Inmates’ grievances on the merits.
