[epilepsy] Re: Employment Discrimination Case

 

You don't need to inform prospective employers before you are hired. You can inform them AFTER you are hired, but there is no requirement to disclosed medical conditions during the interview process. I would actually discourage people from letting a perspective employer know you have epilepsy, as it automatically puts you at a disadvantage against other applicants. And you really have no recourse if someone chooses not to hire you because you have epilepsy, whereas you do once you have been hired. Obviously, there are some jobs where having epilepsy would be a disqualifier on safety grounds, but I am assuming that people here aren't applying for those types of jobs.
