Re: [epilepsy] Re: Employment Discrimination Case

 

Yes, you are correct. The EEOC is the Federal agency that is in charge of looking into these claims and they would not have issued the right to sue if I had not followed the law.

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.
