Examples of unreasonable hardship in accommodating disabilities in organizations

Abstract

Focuses on the unreasonable hardships that organizations encounter due to the interpretation of the Americans with Disabilities act by government officials. Covers the issues of the hearing impaired, wheelchair access, wheelchair ramp requirements and pre‐employment questioning restrictions in turn with associated case law. Concludes that the act contains a number of ambiguous phrases and does not take into account the monetary burden placed on the organization.
