Of course. Assuming, that is, that you don't have a contract and you're not in a union or covered by civil service or a similar kind of protection. Otherwise, you're an employee at will, which means the employer can fire you at any time for any reason or no reason at all, including your refusal to take a promotion. Or, if he's feeling mean, you can agree to take the promotion and he can still fire you.
