Federal Printable Free Miscellaneous Law Posters Federal Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) Poster Mandatory

The Employee Polygraph Protection Act (EPPA) is a Federal miscellaneous law poster provided for businesses by the Federal Department Of Labor. This is a required poster for all Federal employers, and any business that fails to post this notification may be subject to penalties or fines.

This optional poster is for employees to know that they are protected from most employers who use polygraph tests for screening or during employment. Exemptions to this law apply in certain areas. For those who are given a polygraph test, their rights are also listed on the poster.

WH1462 REV 07/16	
PROHIBITIONS	Employers are generally prohibited from requiring or requesting 
any employee or job applicant to take a lie detector test, and from 
discharging, disciplining, or discriminating against an employee or 
prospective employee for refusing to take a test or for exercising other 
rights under the Act. 	
EXEMPTIONS	Federal, State and local governments are not affected by the law. Also, 
the law does not apply to tests given by the Federal Government to 
certain private individuals engaged in national security-related activities.
The Act permits polygraph (a kind of lie detector) tests to be adminis\
tered 
in the private sector, subject to restrictions, to certain prospective 
employees of security service firms (armored car, alarm, and guard), and 
of pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors and dispensers.
The Act also permits polygraph testing, subject to restrictions, of certain 
employees of private firms who are reasonably suspected of involvement 
in a workplace incident (theft, embezzlement, etc.) that resulted in 
economic loss to the employer.
The law does not preempt any provision of any State or local law or any 
collective bargaining agreement which is more restrictive with respect to 
lie detector tests.	
EXAMINEE 
RIGHTS	
Where polygraph tests are permitted, they are subject to numerous strict 
standards concerning the conduct and length of the test. Examinees 
have a number of specific rights, including the right to a written notice 
before testing, the right to refuse or discontinue a test, and the right not 
to have test results disclosed to unauthorized persons.	
ENFORCEMENT	The Secretary of Labor may bring court actions to restrain violations and 
assess civil penalties against violators. Employees or job applicants ma\
y 
also bring their own court actions.	
EMPLOYEE RIGHTS 
EMPLOYEE POLYGRAPH PROTECTION ACT
The Employee Polygraph Protection Act 
prohibits most private employers from using 
lie detector tests either for pre-employment 
screening or during the course of employment.	
THE LAW REQUIRES EMPLOYERS TO DISPLAY THIS POSTER 	
WHERE EMPLOYEES AND JOB APPLICANTS CAN READILY SEE IT.
