A bank teller failes 2 polygraph exams after an attempted bank robbery and the bank is not allowed to fire the person? But the law does have exceptions which I believe cover this bank. I think all three of these excemptions would apply in this case. (1) the test is administered in connection with an ongoing investigation involving economic loss or injury to the employer's business, such as theft, embezzlement, misappropriation, or an act of unlawful industrial espionage or sabotage; (2) the employee had access to the property that is the subject of the investigation; (3) the employer has a reasonable suspicion that the employee was involved in the incident or activity under investigation; This makes sense.
