Undue hardship: When an employer cannot make a change or accommodation for an employee because it would be too hard or expensive.
Undue hardship refers to a level of difficulty or expense that is considered unreasonable for an employer to accommodate an employee's needs. This can include physical, mental, or religious accommodations.
These examples illustrate how an employer may determine whether an accommodation would cause undue hardship. In both cases, the employer must weigh the cost or disruption of the accommodation against the benefit to the employee. If the cost or disruption is deemed excessive, the employer may not be required to provide the accommodation.
