Wilson, an employee in a private-sector bank, has been suspected of stealing company funds and subsequently threatening and harassing some of his coworkers who refused to participate in his plans. Wilson, however, completely denies the accusations and maintains that he is innocent. Because of the lack of strong evidence, the ethics committee of the company decides to administer a polygraph test to Wilson. To ensure compliance with the rules of the Employee Polygraph Protection Act, which of the following should the committee do while conducting the test?
a. It should not inform Wilson or get his permission prior to conducting the test.
b. It should not allow Wilson to stop the test at any time depending on his personal will.
c. It should decide if Wilson is to be terminated or retained solely based on the results.
d. It should only use licensed, bonded examiners to conduct the test.

The purpose of the Employee Polygraph Protection Act is to ensure that employees get tested according to the highest levels of fairness and professionalism. To that end, only licensed examiners who have had training should be able to administer the test.

In addition to that, these examiners must sign a bond that they will be required to pay if it is shown that during the course of the exam, they engaged in practices that were unfairly or illegal towards the employee being examined.
