What is Duty to Accommodate?
Duty to accommodate refers to the legal obligation of an employer to provide equal access to
employment opportunities by removing physical, attitudinal, and systemic barriers that may
disadvantage individuals based on prohibited grounds of discrimination, such as disability,
religion, gender, or age. The employer must take reasonable steps to accommodate an employee's
needs to the point of undue hardship.
What is Undue Hardship?
Undue hardship is the limit to which an employer must accommodate an employee's needs based
on prohibited grounds of discrimination. If accommodation would cause excessive costs,
health/safety risks, or significant operational disruption beyond what is reasonable, it may
constitute undue hardship, and the employer would not be required to provide that
accommodation.
Provide some comments on the article.
The article reinforces reasonable accommodation limits, stating an employer's duty ends
when accommodating an employee who cannot work due to permanent disability is
inherently impossible.
It aligns with undue hardship by suggesting that if a disability prevents fulfilling basic job
obligations in the foreseeable future, accommodation will cause undue hardship.
The decision emphasizes clear medical documentation's importance in assessing the
ability to work and accommodate.

How do I respond to this in 100 words?
Mujtaba (2010; as cited in Muffler et al., 2010) states that disparate treatment involves an employer who intentionally treats applicants or employees less favorably than others based on one of the protected classes of color, race, sex, religion, or national origin. It is the core constitutional violation against which the U.S. Equal Protection Clause guards (Hellman, 2024, pg. 206). In light of disparate treatment cases, employers should be sure to document their reasoning for their employment decisions for a variety of reasons. One reason being to maintain legal compliance. There are laws in place that protect employees from employment discrimination, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and Executive Orders 11246 and 11375 (Holley et al., 2017). Employers could face serious legal implications if an employee or candidate files a claim against them for discriminatory actions and their employment…

Many students are surprised to learn that employees may be fired for any reason not expressly prohibited by the law. As we have seen, the law requires employers to accommodate a fairly wide range of employee behaviors and conditions. However, there are still classes of employees and behaviors that are not protected by federal law, e.g., sexual orientation or political affiliation. Should the law be expanded to cover additional classes and behaviors? Why or why not?

After you have determined what sources to include in your literature review to assess employee contributions in the workplace, you must now compile your review and reflect on the implications of all that you have read in the extant literature and how that applies to your research. To what extent might the strengths, weakness, limitations, and delimitations of existing studies indicate strengths, weakness, limitations, and delimitations of your study? Explain. Note: Rather than providing insights into the topics of employee rewards/compensation or employee retention, focus your discussion post on the research methodology and design to resolve this applied research example
