polygraph

I have just seen a job application stating that potential and current employees may be required to take a polygraph/other lie detector test. (For current employees, I'm assuming this is only if you're genuinely suspected of wrongdoing. I'm not sure if all potential employees have to take one before hiring.) And that you may have to pay a fine if you "violate[s] this provision."

...that's a new one.

ETA: I am a dimwit but a happy one. I misread the application--it says that the employers are not allowed to do this to current or future employees. I r smrt. Really.
