Q: We are conducting a workplace investigation into an allegation of serious misconduct by one of our employees. The respondent has obtained a polygraph report, which he purports to show that he did not act as alleged by the complainants. I am aware that polygraph evidence is not considered admissible in Australian courts in criminal matters. The investigator also has serious doubts about the testing in this case. To what extent should the investigator consider the result of the polygraph test as evidence?
