Los Angeles Undue Hardship Discrimination Lawyer

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures employment equality for all individuals, regardless of mental or physical disabilities. One specification provided for by the ADA is that employers and companies must provide reasonable accommodation for employees or potential employees who have disabilities in order to ensure that these individuals have the ability to fully perform their work.

Unfortunately, many employers and companies are unwilling to meet these requirements and look for ways to discriminate against employees and potential employees with disabilities.

Los Angeles disability discrimination attorney Perry Smith is here to make sure that these employers and companies are brought to justice for their discriminatory employment practices.

Claims of Undue Hardship

One way that employers / companies discriminate against employees with disabilities is by claiming that making accommodations for disabled employees would result in an “undue hardship” for the company.

When determining if an accommodation will reasonably and legitimately create an undue hardship, the following factors are considered:

• The cost of the accommodation
• The financial (and other) resources of the employer or company
• The size, structure, and composition of the business
• Any accommodation costs that have already been incurred in the business

If providing the necessary accommodations will threaten the financial stability or operations of a business, it is reasonable to claim that the accommodations will create an undue hardship. Unfortunately, many companies claim “undue hardship” inaccurately to avoid providing for employees with disabilities, and thus engage in blatantly discriminatory employment practices.

Los Angeles undue hardship discrimination attorney Perry Smith is here to make sure that employers and businesses cannot unfairly hide behind the “undue hardship” law provision, and to ensure that individuals who have been the victims of discrimination receive the compensation they deserve.
