The Employee Polygraph Protection Act restricts most employers from requiring or requesting polygraph tests from job applicants. However, with certain limitations, the Act allows polygraph examinations for specific job applicants in security service firms (such as armored car, alarm, and guard services) as well as in the pharmaceutical industry, including manufacturers, distributors, and dispensers.
Research indicates that the three primary benefits of polygraph screening are: more honest completion of applications, the hiring of higher-quality employees, and a reduction in the number of undesirable hires. Implementing polygraph testing for your applicants can lead to significant cost savings for your company.
Experienced criminal defense attorneys frequently utilize polygraph exams as a strategic tool when preparing defense cases or seeking the dismissal of charges against their clients. Polygraph tests are also commonly employed to validate the statements made by clients.
A polygraph examination can expedite the resolution of insurance claims effectively. While participation in polygraph tests is voluntary, a refusal by a claimant may necessitate further investigation.
When claimants are aware that their case is under closer scrutiny, they may choose to undergo the polygraph test or withdraw fraudulent claims altogether. A polygraph examination conducted by a federally certified examiner can save your insurance company both time and money.
