(i) the identifiable cost of the accommodation, including the costs of
loss of productivity and of retaining or hiring employees or
transferring employees from one facility to another, in relation to the
size and operating cost of the employer;

(ii) the number of individuals who will need the particular
accommodation to a sincerely held religious observance or practice; and

(iii) for an employer with multiple facilities, the degree to which
the geographic separateness or administrative or fiscal relationship of
the facilities will make the accommodation more difficult or expensive.

Provided, however, an accommodation shall be considered to constitute
an undue hardship if it will result in the inability of an employee to
perform the essential functions of the position in which he or she is
employed.

(2) "premium wages" shall include overtime pay and compensatory time
off, and additional remuneration for night, weekend or holiday work, or
for standby or irregular duty.

(3) "premium benefit" shall mean an employment benefit, such as
seniority, group life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance,
sick leave, annual leave, or an educational or pension benefit that is
greater than the employment benefit due the employee for an equivalent
period of work performed during the regular work schedule of the
employee.
