This document provides interim final regulations for the implementation of the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988, which was signed into law June 27, 1988, and is effective December 27, 1988.
Abstract
The purpose of the regulations is to provide protection for most private sector employees from polygraph testing, either pre-employment or during the course of employment, with certain limited exceptions. Any covered employer, not otherwise exempt, who wishes to use a lie detector test after that date will be subject to this interim final rule. (Author abstract)
