I will go against the grain and say that if it will impact your attendance, appearance, or job performance in any way it may be best to tell HR and your direct manager. If not, then I wouldn’t bring it up.

The reason to tell is because it will provide you some legal protections and will make HR very hesitant to green light firing you. Second, if you do end up getting fired you have leverage to negotiate a better severance package. HR will want to mitigate any potential for lawsuit and offer a good package.
