Employee has been with us for 8 years but has developed health problems which makes it difficult to hold a full-time job. The performance of her department has gone from making a profit of $100K in 2014 to a $125K loss so far this year.
We have tried to accommodate by setting up a home office for her (computer, telephone, etc.) but it is still necessary for her to travel to attend meetings and to supervise her subordinates.
We have provided a company car for her but her seizure condition makes it illegal for her to hold a driver's license (our state motor vehicle department is not aware of her condition so has not officially taken her license away).
Employee has also stated to us that she may get a prescription for medical marijuana to alleviate some of the symptoms. Drug use by our employees is strictly forbidden and grounds for termination.
We feel like this situation is a train wreck from a liability perspective. And the employee has hinted that she would take us to the state labor board if we terminated her.
Any advice would be appreciated.
