What is not considered to be a reasonable accommodation?
Anything that creates an undue hardship for the employer is not considered to be reasonable. An undue hardship may be created when the requested accommodation is too costly, or will fundamentally alter the nature of the business. An undue hardship is determined on a case-by-case basis, in looking at the size and resources of the employer. The employer must demonstrate that the accommodation is an undue hardship. In addition, an employer does not need to accommodate the employee by lowering production standards, hiring an extra person to help the employee, or removing essential job functions.
