Legal Question in Employment Law in Texas

Re: lie detector tests

Based on what you have written, if someone is stealing money from the employer; then the employer may conduct an investigation to attempt to discover the source. The employer more than likely will contact the police to assist in conducting the investigation. Additionally, the police's investigation may potentially lead to a criminal prosecution of the crime. As for the lie detector test, polygraph test results have been questioned in courts since their inception. An individual may choose to not particiapte in such actions, but realize that there may be other actions that potentially could result from that non-participation. Texas is an employment-at-will state. Therefore employment is at the will of the employee or at the will of the employer.
