Every state must follow federal and state laws that have been made within the state you are in. If there has been a constant situation of seizure activity taking place within the company in front of customers that may raise a larger issue from the immediate supervisor to HR for continuing the employment.
Most companies are willing to bend with employees that have disabilities however there are some companies that have the inability due to the job positions that take place. I have gone through having a seizure in front of customers a few times in the past. It is quite frustrating to have that take place even when they are small. With my absence seizures taking place it was decided best to work from home rather than have an ambulance remove me each time a seizure took place then have to pay off a bill; not something I care to go through.
Is this work related? If it is then I would think not...
No they can’t; but they can say that ur unreliable. Just make sure every time u have to miss a day that u did so because of ur epilepsy. They have to know that that’s the reason u missed ur shift, or they can fire u for being unreliable. So as long as someone has called and informed them that u weren’t there due to a seizure or episode they can’t say anything especially since they hired u knowing u have epilepsy
No, Home Depot cannot legally discriminate against you because of your epilepsy. In the United States, epilepsy is protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which means employers cannot use your condition against you or discriminate based on your seizures.

They can’t by the law but if your manager is not a good manager they will find away around the law. I hope it works out for you. I got fired after being on disability from a horrible brain surgery. They put that I chose not to come back so they didn’t even have to pay me unemployment. And this was a person I knew and had worked for before. I went to the firm bcse he was there and he didn’t even call me. They sent a letter. Sorry for going on. Anyway hope it works out .
