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.

Do you have to be given a warning before an emplyoyer can terminate?
It depends on the state you're in, I believe. I live in VA and an employee or employer can terminate the employment without good reason at any time. Normally an employer won't do this. Normally they give a warning.
Can you fire someone for non proformance first 90 days?
Firing someone, at any time during their employment, is dependent upon the state the person is employed in. Many states have without cause employment laws. In those states you can terminate employment for any reason.

What is terminate for cause?
To end something for a reason. For example, we have an agreement that I will pay you for a bushel of tomatoes a week. If you do not bring me tomatoes, I would terminate our agreement for cause. It could also mean ending employment for a reason- if you failed to show up for work, your employment would be terminated for cause (you got fired).

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 on the spot for not signing a noncompete?
If an employer utilizes a non-compete clause, most employers will not even offer employment if a non-compete clause is not signed beforehand. However, if the employer wants to establish a non-compete clause with current employees after the fact, then it depends on what state you live in and what your employment contract contains. For instance, in an employment-at-will state, an employer can terminate your employment for no reason at all (except if protected under Federal laws such as discriminatory practices or retaliation to whistleblowing); in this case, yes, your employment could be terminated if you don't sign. If you are in a right-to-employment state or operate under an employment contract, then review your contract to determine if your employer can terminate employment if you do not sign.
