A small business owner in Dorset, UK was facing a serious problem. One of his employees, who had been with the company for several years, was suspected of stealing from the business. The owner had no concrete evidence, but he knew that something was amiss. He was hesitant to take any action without proof, as he didn’t want to falsely accuse an innocent employee. That’s when he turned to Lie Detector UK for help.
Background:
The business owner, let’s call him David, had noticed a discrepancy in the company’s accounts. Money seemed to be disappearing without any explanation. He suspected that one of his employees was stealing from the company, but he couldn’t be sure who it was. David decided to take action before the situation got out of hand.
Consultation:
David contacted Lie Detector UK and spoke with a polygraph examiner. The examiner explained the process of the lie detector test and how it could help to identify the employee who was stealing. The examiner also explained that the test is completely confidential, and the results would be admissible in court if necessary.
Pre-Test Interview:
The polygraph examiner met with David and the suspected employee separately for a pre-test interview. During the interview, the examiner explained the questions that would be asked during the test and ensured that both parties understood them. The examiner also asked additional questions to establish a baseline reading for the employee’s physiological responses.
The Test:
The test took approximately two hours to complete. During the test, the examiner asked a series of questions related to the theft. The employee was connected to a polygraph machine, which measured his physiological responses to each question. After the test, the examiner reviewed the results and determined that the employee had been deceptive in his answers.
Post-Test Interview:
Following the test, the polygraph examiner met with David and the employee to discuss the results. The employee was given the opportunity to explain any discrepancies in his answers, but he could not provide a satisfactory explanation for his behavior. David made the difficult decision to terminate the employee’s employment and filed a report with the police.
Conclusion:
Thanks to the help of Lie Detector UK, David was able to identify the employee who was stealing from his company and take appropriate action. The use of the lie detector test not only saved the business from further financial loss but also helped to restore trust and confidence in the remaining employees. The case serves as a reminder of the effectiveness of lie detector tests in identifying deception and protecting businesses from theft and fraud.
