South Carolina is a "right to work" or "at will" state, which means an employer can terminate employment for any reason. However, labor laws still apply to discrimination and the state's laws pertaining to unemployment govern whether the separated employee will be eligible for benefits based on circumstances relating to the separation.

The general rule of employment in the U.S. today is "at-will employment," which means that employers can terminate employees for almost any reason, or for no reason at all, as long as it's not illegal (such as discrimination or retaliation).

Exceptions to at-will employment may arise from contracts, collective bargaining agreements, or specific state laws.

Can an employee terminate your employment for a criminal background check that was done after being employed for 18 months and attending school there especially if they knew when they hired you?
It depends on the state law or statute where the employment occurs. For example, in Texas, the law is wide open for employers, in that an employer needs no more reason to terminate an employee than that they want to. In other words, in Texas, an employer does not need any reason to terminate you. Of course it is a two-way street, in that an employee is free to leave at any time, for cause, or just because he wants to. This may not be true in the state where you are employed.
Can you fire someone for non proformance first 90 days?
