Question

Kirsten Thomas · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Reasonable accommodation must be provided by employers for employees' religious practices or disabilities unless doing so would cause undue hardship to the business. This is a principle upheld by laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which require employers to make adjustments or modifications to the work environment or the way a job is performed to enable an employee to participate in the employment process fully. The concept of undue hardship means that an accommodation is not required if it would result in significant difficulty or expense for the employer, taking into account factors such as the nature and cost of the accommodation, the overall financial resources of the facility involved, and the impact of the accommodation on the operation of the business.
