Reasonable Accommodation | |
To determine the appropriate reasonable accommodation it may be necessary for the contractor to initiate an informal, interactive process with the qualified individual with a handicap in need of the accommodation. This process should identify the precise limitations resulting from the disability and potential reasonable accommodations that could overcome those limitations. Compare with "Religious Accommodation." |

Religion (Protected Group) | |
Religious beliefs and practices, not limited to mainstream religions, but also including moral or ethical beliefs which are sincerely held with the strength of religious views. | |
Religious Accommodation | |
Requirement of a contractor to accommodate sincere religious observances and practices of an employee or prospective employee unless the contractor can demonstrate that it is unable to do so without undue hardship on the conduct of its business. Anything requiring more than a de minimis cost has been held by the Supreme Court to constitute "undue hardship" in this context. | |
