610 | + | 2 For the purposes of this subdivision (J), "undue | |
611 | + | 3 hardship" means an action that is prohibitively expensive | |
612 | + | 4 or disruptive when considered in light of the following | |
613 | + | 5 factors: (i) the nature and cost of the accommodation | |
614 | + | 6 needed; (ii) the overall financial resources of the | |
615 | + | 7 facility or facilities involved in the provision of the | |
616 | + | 8 reasonable accommodation, the number of persons employed | |
617 | + | 9 at the facility, the effect on expenses and resources, or | |
618 | + | 10 the impact otherwise of the accommodation upon the | |
619 | + | 11 operation of the facility; (iii) the overall financial | |
620 | + | 12 resources of the employer, the overall size of the | |
621 | + | 13 business of the employer with respect to the number of its | |
622 | + | 14 employees, and the number, type, and location of its | |
623 | + | 15 facilities; and (iv) the type of operation or operations | |
624 | + | 16 of the employer, including the composition, structure, and | |
625 | + | 17 functions of the workforce of the employer, the geographic | |

627 | + | 19 the facility or facilities in question to the employer. | |

629 | + | 21 fact that the employer provides or would be required to | |
630 | + | 22 provide a similar accommodation to similarly situated | |
631 | + | 23 employees creates a rebuttable presumption that the | |
632 | + | 24 accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the | |
