The employer has a duty to accommodate Bill to the point of undue hardship as stated in the Human Rights Code. This means that the employer must take all reasonable steps to accommodate the employee's disability without causing significant difficulty or expense. If the accommodation would cause undue hardship, then the employer may not be required to provide it.
