He will need at least a 3rd class medical to fly Part 137, which could be complicated due to the ADHD diagnosis. Maybe r/flying could offer more specific advice on the medical requirements.

Thanks, I’ll check that out.
His medication and medical information are not our concern.
If he’s already flying well, his work should only improve with the medication. People with ADHD often excel when they’re doing something they love, but struggle with things like being on time or completing paperwork. Medication should only benefit you and your company.
You’re doing a great thing helping him with his mental health. He will likely become one of your best employees. Be honest with him when things are close to affecting the business, but you’re on the right track.
He will definitely be a better, more focused pilot with medication.
If it’s a major concern, consider consulting an attorney or a doctor, rather than relying on forum advice. It’s better to be safe and protect your company.
