Q24 In dollars, how much of the cost of the accommodation was beyond what you would have
paid for an employee in the same position who did not have a disability?
For example, an employer might purchase a computer monitor for all of his employees, but an
employee may need a large screen rather than a regular monitor as an accommodation. The
cost difference between the large screen monitor and the regular monitor would be the amount
that we are asking about.
