| Title | Dealing with difference: a study of three models of reasonable accommodation for disabled workers |
| Summary | This thesis is about how a single legal idea – in this case 'reasonable accommodation' – is used in three different jurisdictions, to address disability discrimination at workplace. A bare definition of reasonable accommodation is that it is a set of individualized measures that an employer is required to take to accommodate a disabled employee, subject to such measures casting an disproportionate burden on the employer. What is meant by 'disproportionate burden' or 'undue hardship' as it is referred to in some jurisdictions, is the question where the role of judicial interpretation becomes relevant. In this thesis, I shall look at how the idea of reasonable accommodation has been legislatively defined and interpreted by the courts in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. |
