There are no set rules about what constitutes undue hardship since each employer operates under different circumstances. What may be hardship for one employer may not be for another. What constitutes an undue hardship is addressed by the EEOC and courts on an individual basis. Generally, the EEOC's interpretation of what constitutes undue hardship and reasonable accommodation has been more stringent than the interpretation of undue hardship by the courts. However, since the EEOC's guidelines are simply guidelines (though strong, well-respected ones) and thus not binding, and court decisions are, employers must look to the interpretation by courts in their own jurisdictions. The U.S. Supreme Court's determination of what constitutes undue hardship was established in Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Hardison, which still stands today.
