speaking as an employer...be sure that you fully understand and read all company policies and handbooks. if you do not disclose medical conditions ( or medications) that may cause you, other employees, customers or clients any "injury" you can be held liable.

we have never had any issues where an employee didn't disclose a medical condition or medication they were on. might be how we approch it. in our case they are dealing with motorized and very heavy equipment. it's also for thier protection.

it has never stopped us from hiring anyone. it has been better to know how exactly to help the person if a crisis occurs. and we have had those and were blessed to know what meds the employee was on. when she did have a seizure, we were able to give information to the ems.

i know how important it is to work and the need financially. maybe it's the smaller businesses who have more compassion and understanding. you aren't a number a punches a clock to them.
