The Polygraph Protection Act

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Polygraph Protection Act requires that employees be advised of their rights before taking a polygraph test. This includes informing them of their right to refuse the test and the consequences of doing so. The act also limits the use of polygraphs in employment, and prohibits their use in most cases for pre-employment screening. It does not allow an employer to fire an employee solely based on their refusal to take a polygraph test. Law enforcement personnel do not need to be present during a polygraph test, regardless of the accusations.
