Add Comment Question: In pursuit of a career that mandated a pre-employment polygraph, I underwent the process where, under the guidance of a detective, I disclosed an incident that occurred a couple of years ago. Subsequently, the organization informed me that they had a duty to report this incident to the police, resulting in the termination of my application process. While I fully comprehend the obligation to report such incidents, I am concerned about what I perceive as an unfair outcome: a lifetime deferral decision and the termination of my application based solely on this single incident, without consideration of other relevant factors. Therefore, I am seeking your guidance to determine if there are grounds to pursue this matter legally. Answer: Generally speaking, an employer has the right to employ any individual they see fit, so long as they are not excluding candidates on grounds that would breach the human right code.
