Employers are dealing with dishonest and fraudulent conduct by employees on a regular basis and often obtaining direct evidence can be difficult. Under such circumstances polygraph testing becomes a very valuable aid in such investigations.
Often these investigations can culminate in disciplinary action or dismissal and many times the matter can go to CCMA for arbitration. It is therefore vital that employers take the necessary steps to ensure that the evidence they obtained is admissible at the CCMA.
It is always important to remember that CCMA will take evidence collected in a polygraph examination into account as corroborative evidence and accept the testimony of an accredited examiner as an expert witness. The employer will have to ensure that other evidence can be presented. In many instances new evidence will come to light during a polygraph investigation.
