Epileptic Employee

One of our employees has told us that she has periodic seizures due to epilipsy. Part of her job is transporting clients on errands. Do we have an obligation to disclose this condition to DMV? Are we violating privacy if we disclose? BTW, we are aware of our liability here, and are dealing with it.

Note: The preceeding is my personal opinion and has no value beyond that. Although it may be 'sorta offensive' or 'indeed offensive' to someone out there, it is offered without regard to that possibility. Should you find yourself alarmed by my post, you may privately mail me to protest or you may alert the principal's office. x:-)
It might be worth looking into your state DMV laws.
Did you do a background check? Has she had any past incidents that would cause you to believe that she cannot do this job safely?

The specific doctor may feel the need to report to the DMV, which has happened, but it is not the company's position to do so.
