Abstract: This article reports on the possible use of lie detectors in detecting if British workers are falsely calling in sick. A year-long pilot at Harrow Borough Council used the Voice Risk Analysis system to detect false benefit claims. Susan Anderson of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) conceded that the technology could be very useful, but warned against employers behaving like "Big Brother" and said that a detector needed to be used as part of a range of incentives and penalties.
