Undue hardship
Definition[edit | edit source]
An undue hardship is an action requiring significant difficulty or expense to the employer.
Factors to consider[edit | edit source]
Factors to be considered include-
- (1) The nature and net cost of the accommodation needed;
- (2) The financial resources of the Department as a whole; and
- (3) The impact of the accommodation upon the operation of the departments or company's mission, including the impact on the ability of other employees to perform their duties and to conduct business.
In most countries, employers are required to provide a reasonable accommodation to qualified individuals with disabilities, but when an accommodation becomes too expensive or too taxing, it is classified as an undue hardship and is no longer required.
These hardships include the nature and cost of the accommodation in relation to the size, resources, nature, and structure of the employer's operation.
