This determination of whether or not a particular function is essential will generally include one or more of the following factors extracted from Part 1630 of the Americans with Disabilities Acts (ADA) Employment Implementation Guide: 1. The first factor is whether the position exists to perform a particular function. For example, an individual may be hired to proofread documents. The ability to proofread the documents would then be an essential function, since this is the only reason the position exists. 2. The time spent performing a particular function may also be an indicator of whether the function is essential. An example of this would be if an employee spends the majority of his/her time working on a remote computer terminal. This would be evidence that operating a remote terminal is an essential function. 3. A third factor in determining whether a function is essential is the number of other employees available to perform the job function or among whom the performance of said job function can be distributed. For example, if an organization has a relatively small number of available employees for the volume of work to be performed, it may be necessary that each employee perform a multitude of different functions. Therefore, the performance of those functions by each employee becomes more critical and the options for reorganizing the work become more limited. In such a situation, functions which might not necessarily be essential if there were a larger staff may become essential because the complement size is small compared to the volume of work that has to be done. 4. The fourth factor is the degree of expertise or skill required to perform the function. In certain professions and highly skilled positions the employee is hired for his/her expertise or ability to perform a particular function. In such a situation, the performance of that specialized task would be an essential function. 5. The consequences of failing to require the employee to perform the function may be another indicator of whether a particular function is essential. For example, although a firefighter may not regularly have to carry an unconscious person out of a burning building, the consequence of failing to require the firefighter to be able to perform this function would be extremely serious.
