A. The insulation from oversight currently enjoyed by polygraphers generally precludes effective legal challenges to dismissals based on polygraph results. Few, if any, laws regulate polygraphers and their conduct. Nonetheless, there are isolated reports of polygraphers being sued successfully. If you do investigate legal action, we suggest consulting an attorney experienced in labor law. Furthermore, you may wish to network with other polygraph victims in your area in an attempt to spread out legal costs among more individuals. The Action Alerts forum of the AntiPolygraph.org message board was designed with this purpose in mind.
