One, a very successful VP of advertising for a major corp. was allowed to keep his title and pay after undergoing ECT, but his authority was nil.
This was in a creative profession where many of his coworkers were depressives and on meds. Guess the co. drew the line at ECT.
He changed jobs.
I agree with the wisdom of your approach but there are some very creative ways that companies can SCREW YOU and get away with it. When it comes to M.I., there are very few companies you can trust, laws or no laws. You can bet your ass on that.

My 2 bits,
