EPPA (Employee Polygraph Protection Act)

  • As outlined by the United States Department of Labor, The Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) prohibits most private employers from using lie detector tests, either for pre-employment screening or during the course of employment. Employers generally may not require or request any employee or job applicant to take a lie detector test, or discharge, discipline, or discriminate against an employee or job applicant for refusing to take a test or for exercising other rights under the Act. Employers may not use or inquire about the results of a lie detector test or discharge or discriminate against an employee or job applicant on the basis of the results of a test, or for filing a complaint, or for participating in a proceeding under the Act. Subject to restrictions, the Act permits polygraph (a type of lie detector) tests to be administered to certain job applicants of security service firms (armored car, alarm, and guard) and of pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and dispensers.

  • As an employer, can I ask an employee to take a polygraph test?

    Yes, under certain conditions, an employer may request that an employee submit to a polygraph examination. The provided information will guide you as an employer with the necessary steps in order for you, the employer, to ask an employee to take a polygraph test. All guidelines must be met and should be strictly adhered to in order to avoid any unnecessary legal actions against the employer and business.

    The following questions must be answered as "yes" by the employer in order for an employee to be asked to submit to a polygraph test:

    1) Is the person in question a present employee?

    If the employee is currently employed and is working under me, as the employer, then EPPA guidelines apply.

    2) Do I need to display a poster displayed at work for all of my employees to review the EPPA rules?

    I must display a poster that shows the guidelines of the EPPA for all employees to see.

    3) As an employer, do I have a loss or injury?

    Can I document an ongoing investigation that will identify specific economic loss or injury to my company? Loss can be direct or indirect. Examples of direct loss are theft, embezzlement, misappropriation, and inventory shortage. An indirect loss would be money laundering.

    4) As an employer, do I have a legitimate ongoing investigation?

    Does my company have an internal ongoing investigation that is being conducted and will show a specific loss or injury?

    (a) Does the person in question have access?

    Does the employee who is being investigated have access to the target areas, objects missing, or equipment related to the loss or injury under investigation?

    (b) Is there reasonable suspicion that a specific person committed the crime?

    As an employer, I must be able to verbalize in detail reasonable suspicion, which has been determined through the ongoing investigation that will show why I, as an employer, suspect an employee of causing the loss or injury.

    (c) Have I included all potential names of suspicious individuals on a list?

    You, as the employer, shall provide to the polygraph examiner every potential suspicious individual on a list. This list should include all the employees who had access to the targeted site in question or any employee who knew of the loss or injury.

“David is the only one who can find that missing puzzle piece in which everything comes together and makes sense now. By far the best thing I ever did for my life in a long time. David gets to the truth in an amazing fashion. Thank you.”

— Ms. W. ELB
