Bi-Lo, Inc, 276 S.C. 130, 135, 276 S.E.2d 304, 306 (1981) (holding the South Carolina Administrative Procedures Act established the standard of review for decisions by the full commission); S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-380(A)(6) (Supp. 2002) (stating an appellate court may reverse or modify the full commission’s decision only if its findings or conclusions are “clearly erroneous in view of the reliable, probative, and substantial evidence on the whole record”); Stokes v. First Nat’l Bank, 306 S.C. 46, 50, 410 S.E.2d 248, 251 (1991) (“‘[S]ubstantial evidence’ is evidence which, considering the record as a whole, would allow reasonable minds to reach the conclusion that the administrative agency reached to justify its action.”); Brunson v.

App. 1991) (“In order to receive compensation the employee need not perform a duty he was expressly hired to do.  ‘It is sufficient if the employee is engaged in a pursuit or undertaking consistent with the contract of hire and which in some logical manner pertains to or is incidental to his employment.’” (quoting Beam v. State Workmen’s Compensation Fund, 261 S.C. 327, 332, 200 S.E.2d 83, 86 (1973))).
