There was some money to come up missing at work. the money was in the safe when I left. I had to drive to hours to another store. any how another manager verified that the money had been in the safe. It took them 3 days to figure out that the money was never deposited.5 days before they reported it and now 3 weeks later to decide we have to take this stupid voice thing how can they make me take it when I was not there when the incident happened. I would quit this crappy job but my family says that would make me appear guilty. any ides

its just all weird no investigation nothing justgo take these voice stress analyses they never talked to any one.my family was under the impression that if I refused that automaticaly made me guilty there are no cameras or anything they have always been real slack about the money, safe,etc

would you happen to know where I can print that up because today at work its we Have to take it then it will be decided by law enforcement as to what will happen that as long as money was stolen they have a right to pursue with the cvsa I don't see how they can do it but... or is it just empty threats

if  I understand it right I have to take it because money was stolen or do I have to ask them to provide more proof as to why I should take it. Its my reputation at stake not theirs I am not leaving my fate in the hands of a piece of equipment. What happens when I refuseAm i automaticly considered guilty.

By refusing to take this joke "test" you will probably cause them to look more closely in your direction.  However, in doing so legitimate investigation will be necessary, thus clearing your name.  You do not HAVE to allow yourself to be subjected to the "test."  As a citizen you have rights which are for your protection.  Exercise those rights.

I also just found an article in a St. Louis newspaper about CVSA.  The link is quite lengthy.  You can find it by going to news.google.com.  Type in "polygraph."  Sort by date.  Scroll down and you will see a story about CVSA.  Print it out and take it with you as well.

You could also respond in a manner recently suggested to me on such matters by saying, "F**k you *sshole.

That was more of a tongue-in-cheek suggestion.  I would never seriously advise someone to reply in such a manner.  Although, by simply requesting such an arbitrary exercise in futility the employer is deserving of such a response.   

I would find a way to document what gets said. have some evidence if they try to take action against you if you refuse their assinine test.

You are correct in that the police will probably point a bigger finger at you.  However, that will cause them to thoroughly investigate which should exonerate you.  Let them do it.  You may ask your boss if he has an extra 10 grand lying around that he wants to pay in fines.  The law states that because the money is missing your employer can  request that you submit to a dectection deception test (CVSA, polygraph), however it does not state that you must do so.  If you are forced you will also be entitled to initiate litigation which you would surely win.  Refusal does not mean jail time.  They have no evidence, otherwise they wouldn't be making such a ridiculous request.

Did you have a chance to print the above references article and EPPA.  You may want to do so if you have not.
