Can an employee be fired if he refuses to sign a non compete agreement? My husbands company has restructured after a bankruptcy. In this restructuring my husband was demoted and had a $5,000 a year pay cut. This was totally unfair as it is but now they are insisting that he sign a non compete agreement. He was a manager in charge of service and sales for a certain department. He now drives a truck and services machines for this company. How can they ask him to sign a non compete agreement when the job he does now is not a competative one? They are doing this because they know he will try and find another job because of the demotion and pay cut. It takes time to find a job and they are harassing him daily to sign. He wants to know if they can fire him for not signing. This is in the State of South Carolina. <br>Thank you.
