Dear Seniors,
Greetings of the day!
First of all, I would like to thank all the seniors who have advised individuals like me on practical knowledge, thereby immensely helping in handling various issues, gaining knowledge, and keeping us informed.
Also, salute to CITE for the amazing job of keeping us all together - all in one, one in all.
Sir, we seek advice on an issue concerning a permanent female employee who has been displaying neurological disorders such as convulsions. The most recent episode occurred two nights ago in the girls' hostel. Following the initial episode, which happened almost 15 days ago while on duty, we took her to a neurologist who prescribed medication and deemed her fit to work under medication only.
Unfortunately, the convulsions have recurred, causing concern regarding the safety of all. Additionally, it appears that this female employee has been abandoned by her family and may be at risk of suicide. Our other female staff are providing care to her on humanitarian grounds.
We are uncertain about the appropriate course of action, given our concerns:
1) If we advise the employee to seek proper medical attention and return with a medically fit certificate, there is a risk of suicidal behavior.
Seniors, please provide guidance on this matter. Your advice will help us navigate through this challenging situation.
Warm Regards,
A

Dear A,
The condition of the employee is pathetic and it creates a precarious situation for all, including the employer. However, there is no mention in your post about the nature of her job or duties. Unpredictable and recurring convulsions would render an employee medically unfit for any job involving the handling of tools or machinery. Therefore, it would be better to offer her a suitable alternative job.

Dear A,
The advice given by Shri. Umakanthanji is very precise. I would just like to add to it. You should assist her in getting the best available treatment, including counseling, under the given circumstances. May God bless her, as well as you and your company's female staff who are taking care of her.
