What are the three considerations used to determine undue hardship?

• A. Cost
• B. Outside sources of funding, if any; and
• C. Health and safety requirements, if any
• D. Cost; Outside sources of funding, if any; and Health and safety requirements, if any

Answer: (D)

When deciding if an accommodation creates undue hardship, you weigh three practical factors together. First is the cost of providing the accommodation. If the price is prohibitive, that supports undue hardship. Second is whether there are outside sources of funding available to cover part or all of the cost, which can lessen the burden. Third are any health and safety requirements that the accommodation would trigger; if the accommodation would create safety risks, that can justify denying or altering the accommodation. Because the assessment uses all three factors, the option that lists cost, outside funding sources, and health and safety requirements is the correct choice.
