Significant difficulty or expense incurred in providing a workplace accommodation for an individual with a disability. Factors considered in determining undue hardship include the size, nature and structure of a business, as well as the resources available to an employer. If the facility considering the accommodation is part of a larger entity, the structure and overall resources of the larger organization are considered, as well as the financial and administrative relationship of the employing facility to the larger organization.

In general, undue hardship refers to excessive financial difficulties. Under the guidelines, either parent may ask for a different child support amount at a higher or lower level if the parent or the child is experiencing undue hardship. For example, this provision could apply where a parent has incurred unusually high debts from supporting the family prior to the separation. A two-step test must be used to determine undue hardship. First, it must be determined whether the parent requesting the change is in circumstances that would make it difficult either to pay the required amount or to support the child on that amount. Second, the standards of living of both households must be compared. The income of every member of both households must be looked at to compare standards of living. If the parent claiming undue hardship cannot prove that his or her household's standard of living is lower than the other parent's, the claim for undue hardship must be rejected.

These include, but are not limited to, the nature and cost involved in the accommodation, overall financial resources of the facility or facilities involved, number of people employed at the facility, the type of operation(s) of the employer, including the composition, structure and functions of the workforce.
