Question

Olivia suspects her payroll clerk of embezzlement. She has inspected the records for the past 3 months, and the pattern is clear. But to be sure it is the payroll clerk and not the accounts payable clerk, Olivia wants to confront her and demand she take a lie detector test.

A. Good going, Olivia. You caught her. Sure enough, demanding that she take a lie detector test is a good way to confirm your suspicions.
B. While lie detector tests can be used for some employees, accounting employees are exempt. You can't test her.
C. Lie detector tests are not permitted for any use by any employer. You can't test her.
D. Lie detector tests can be required only in limited circumstances, and this isn't one of them. You can't test her.
