What are my legal rights regarding undue hardship?

Undue hardship refers to a significant difficulty or expense that would be imposed on a party. In legal terms, it often relates to obligations like providing accommodations in the workplace. Can you provide more context?

I need to know if my employer can deny my request for flexible hours due to my health condition.

Your employer must consider your request seriously, but they can deny it if it causes undue hardship to the business. Factors include the cost of accommodation and the impact on operations.

What should I do if I believe my employer is not accommodating my needs?

You can start by discussing your concerns with HR. If that doesn't help, consider filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or seeking legal advice.

Are there any specific laws that protect me in this situation?

Yes, laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protect employees from discrimination and require reasonable accommodations.
