Article 5 of the Employment Equality Directive states that employers have a duty of reasonable accommodation with respect to candidates or employees with a disability. This means that employers are required to take appropriate measures to enable a person with a disability to have access to employment or training unless doing so would impose a disproportionate burden on the employer. Reasonable accommodation would include, for example, providing wheelchair access, adjusting working hours, adapting office equipment or simply redistributing tasks between the members of a team. To determine the disproportionate burden, account should be taken in particular of the financial and other costs entailed, the scale and financial resources of the organisation and the possibility of obtaining public funding or any other assistance.
