We cannot administer a lie detector test of an employee because Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA) (29 USC §2001 et seq.; 29 CFR Part 801) restricts employers for conducting a lie detector test of their employees throughout the span of their jobs. The only difference for certain private organizations is that if the staff is accused about anything potentially criminal, such as misuse of funds or corruption then only a lie detector test of an employee could be done.If a contractor works over 40 hours, they should be paid “one and one-half times their basic rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek on such contracts (U.S. Department of Labor, n.d.).” according to the Contract Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA) (40 USC § 327 et seq.; 29 CFR Part 5). However, workers employed with contractors within projects regulated are obliged to get paid if they cross their normal contract working hours.
