The APA noted that employee background tests and surveillance can be costly and cause problematic legal concerns that are burdensome for businesses screening part-time employees.

Rather than condemn integrity tests, the APA instead issued guidelines for test administration, including the demand that test publishers take more aggressive actions to ensure that qualified individuals administer and score the tests.
However noble such a balance between employer and employee rights might seem, the APA's findings seem to overlook a critical, practical point -- the reason employers use such tests is because of their ease of administration. Employing an expensive professional to administer such tests to a group of prospective part-time...
"Many of the problems attributed to integrity tests result from end users who are largely unqualified to evaluate and interpret test scores" (Camara & Schneider 1994, p.116). Thus, if under optimal conditions almost 97% percent of individuals flagged for dishonesty receive their score as the result of false administration and scoring, then the use of such tests poses serious concerns about the damage done to a candidate's reputation. While the APA shows a great deal of concern about rights of employers to avoid pilferage, the right of a potential employee not to be discriminated against because of a poorly designed and arbitrary scored test is largely overlooked.
