Undue Hardship
The Americans with Disabilities Act is a federal law which guarantees disabled individuals certain rights relating to work. One of the most important provisions of this act is the requirement that employers make reasonable accommodations for all disabled employees. An employer is legally required to make these accommodations unless it can be shown that doing so would represent an undue hardship for their business.

Undue Hardship Considerations
In order for a requested accommodation to be considered an undue hardship, it must be demonstrated that implementation of the accommodation would cause significant difficulties or expenses. The following are some considerations which are taken into account when assessing whether a reasonable accommodation must be granted or not:
- The nature of the requested accommodation
- The size and financial resources of the employer
- The nature of the employer’s business operations
- The accommodation’s effect on the workplace
These and other considerations can be used to help determine whether an employer is capable of implementing a proposed accommodation for a disabled individual.
