A semigroup \((S,\cdot)\) is called \(RC\)-semigroup if every non-equality congruence on \(S\) is a Rees-congruence. This paper studies the \(RC\)- property in several classes of semigroups (semigroups for which every non-equality left-congruence is a Rees-congruence were investigated by \textit{E. Hotzel} [Math. Z. 112, 300--320 (1969; Zbl 0205.01801)]). The main results are the following: (1) a cyclic semigroup \(S\) with index \(m\) and period \(r\) is \(RC\) iff \(m=1\), \(r\) prime or \(m>0\), \(r=1\); (2) a semilattice \(S\) is \(RC\) iff \(S\) has a zero 0 and \(ab=0\) for all \(a\neq b\) in \(S\); (3) a Clifford-semigroup \(S\) is \(RC\) iff \(S\) is an \(RC\)- semilattice or a simple group; (4) a construction of all \(RC\)-bands \(S\) (which are not semilattices) is given using a map from a set \(Q\) into the transformation semigroup \(T_ I\) of some set \(I\) satisfying certain conditions and defining a multiplication on \(S=Q\cup I\) by means of these maps. Thus a complete classification of the \(RC\)-semigroups in those four classes is found.
