If you qualify under the ADA, your employer must provide you with the
reasonable accommodations you request, making it possible for you to
perform your job. If your employer refuses to make such accommodations,
your rights under the ADA may have been violated. There are limits,
however, to the extent to which an employer must accommodate a person
with a disability. The employer is not required to make accommodations
that would impose an undue hardship on the employer or accommodations
that would create a direct threat to health or safety in the workplace.
Additionally, your employer might be eligible for tax benefits in the form of
deductions or credits for the accommodations it makes for its employees.
What qualifies as an undue hardship under the ADA?
The employer decides what qualifies as an undue hardship on a case-bycase
basis. Employers are not required to make accommodations that
are impractical, would cause unreasonable problems, or would be costprohibitive."
