then they will be fired, and unable to collect unemployment benifits. It is also a red flag for any potential future employers, as it shows this person is unreliable, and will quit without notice. If it a military or government contract, it is possible to even serve jail time. About a year ago, you could even be executed, but a supreme court judgment said that only murderers can get the death penalty.

How to Understand an Employment Contract?
An employment contract is a written document signed by both the employee and employer that documents what is expected from both of you as a result of your business relationship. An employment contract can benefit both the employee and the employer by avoiding misunderstandings and miscommunications regarding what the employer expects from the employee in exchange for his paycheck. An employment contract can spell out or address a wide range of issues affecting both the employee and the employer. These include the length of employment expected, the exact responsibilities born by the employee, the specific benefits such as health insurance, vacation pay, sick days or disability leave that the employee is entitled to, the reasons that the employer can terminate the employee’s services, any non-compete agreement once the employee leaves the employer for another opportunity, the matter of confidentialty when dealing with client lists, trade secrets and other proprietary information owned by the employer, who owns any work products that the employee develops, creates or supervises while an employee, and how any disputes are agreed to be handled between the employee and employer. An employment contract can specifically spell out the amount of hours or days to be worked, the designated break and lunch times allocated each workday, and the amount of paid leave offered for vacation, disability or illness. An employment contract is a wise idea for businesses dealing in developing new products or dealing with a lot of confidential information because it makes very clear that the employee cannot violate this confidentiality at the risk of termination and lawsuit. If training is involved when hiring a new employee, an employment contract can help ensure that they don’t leave within a few months time for greener pastures, causing all that money and effort to go to waste. Employment contracts also protect businesses from having an employee leave and get hired immediately by a competitor or go directly into a competing business. An employment contract can protect the employee from being terminated for no reason after a time shorter than specified in the contract, unless an at-will agreement has been signed. This means the employer can terminate the employee at any time, for any reason. Also, terms of an employment contract are binding and cannot be changed without both parties agreeing to renegotiate. Since an employment contract is legally binding on both parties, it should never be signed unless all terms are understood and agreed to and legal counsel for both parties has reviewed the document for anything misleading or questionable.
Can your boss put you on call with no pay being a part time worker?
It depends on the nature of your employment. If you are an "at will" employee, then your boss can ask this of you. At will employment is the most common type, and it means that you and your boss are at liberty to alter the terms of employment at any time. It also means that you are at liberty to quit at any day with or without reason. Your boss is also free to fire you at any time with or without reason. If you have an employment contract that specifically outlines your duties and responsibilities, then your boss might not be able to put you on call with no pay. I would advise you to read your employee manual to see what the exact conditions of employment are. If you have an employment contract read that as well. If your contract terms have been abrogated, contact a lawyer if you would like. Most likely though, you are an at-will employee. If you would like to keep your job, then you will probably have to be on call without pay. If you do not accept this condition, you are free to terminate your employment relationship at any time. A more amenable way to solve this problem would be to talk to your boss about the reasons why you don't like being on call. If you are a good employee, he might agree not to make you do it. You should speak to your boss, it might work.

Is it lawful in SC to terminate employment without reason?
South Carolina is a "right to work" or "at will" state, which means an employer can terminate employment for any reason.

If you told an employee something you heard about them from another employee is that a breach and can you get terminated for that?
Your question is not really specific enough to be answered. If you mean a "breach of contract" it depends on what the contract says. You should review it or consult an attorney if you are truly that concerned. You can be terminated, absent a contract or local laws stating otherwise, for any reason or no reason at any time with or without notice. This is called employment at-will and is the type of employment offered by most companies.
Is it right for a company to terminate you after 24 yearssaying that your job performance is not up to par without any type of warning?
Personally, I would say it is not right. Unfortunately that does not necessarily mean it is illegal. If your state has at will employment, then that means either party, you or the company, are free to terminate the employment arrangement at any time, unless there is a contract which specifically states an employment term. Check to make sure you are not under any kind of contract. If there is a union at your company they may be able to help you. Sometimes the union steward will help you even if you are not personally a member of the union.
Can company force you to transfer?
In general, a company cannot force an employee to transfer to a different location or position without the employee's consent.
