Even if it costs an excessive amount and poses an administrative hardship, a municipal court must accommodate the needs of one employee with a disability.

• A. True
• B. Sometimes true
• C. Not specified
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Public entities, including municipal courts, must provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, but not if doing so would cause undue hardship. The undue hardship standard weighs factors like the cost of the accommodation, administrative burden, impact on operations and other staff, and the court’s overall resources. So the statement is not correct because an accommodation is not required if it would impose an excessive cost or substantial disruption. The proper approach is to engage in an interactive process to find a reasonable accommodation that does not unduly burden the court, or to consider alternatives that still meet the employee’s needs without imposing undue hardship.
