(8) Qualified individual with a disability.--The term "qualified
individual with a disability" means an individual with a disability
who,
with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential
functions of the employment position that such individual holds or
desires. For the purposes of this title, consideration shall be given
to
the employer's judgment as to what functions of a job are essential,
and
if an employer has prepared a written description before advertising
or
interviewing applicants for the job, this description shall be
considered
evidence of the essential functions of the job.
(9) Reasonable accommodation.--The term "reasonable accommodation" may
include--
(A) making existing facilities used by employees readily
accessible
to and usable by individuals with disabilities; and
(B) job restructuring, part-time or modified work schedules,
reassignment to a vacant position, acquisition or modification of
equipment or devices, appropriate adjustment or modifications of
examinations, training materials or policies, the provision of
qualified readers or interpreters, and other similar
accommodations
for individuals with disabilities.
(10) Undue hardship.--
(A) In general.--The term "undue hardship" means an action
requiring significant difficulty or expense, when considered in
light
of the factors set forth in subparagraph (B).
(B) Factors to be considered.--In determining whether an
accommodation would impose an undue hardship on a covered entity,
factors to be considered include--
(i) the nature and cost of the accommodation needed under
this
Act;
(ii) the overall financial resources of the facility or
facilities involved in the provision of the reasonable
accommodation; the number of persons employed at such
facility;
the effect on expenses and resources, or the impact otherwise
of
such accommodation upon the operation of the facility;
(iii) the overall financial resources of the covered entity;
the overall size of the business of a covered entity with
respect
to the number of its employees; the number, type, and location
of
its facilities; and
(iv) the type of operation or operations of the covered
entity,

administrative, or fiscal relationship of the facility or
facilities in question to the covered entity.
