In Ring v Dansk Almennyttigt Boligselskab; HK Danmark, acting on behalf of Werge v Dansk Arbejdsgiverforening, acting on behalf of Pro Display A/S [2013] IRLR 571 ECJ, the ECJ defined "disability", and held that reducing a disabled person's working hours may be a reasonable adjustment to enable him or her to continue working.
The European Court of Justice has confirmed that a reduction in working hours can be regarded as reasonable accommodation for disabled workers where the reduction makes it possible for the worker to continue in employment and does not represent a disproportionate burden on the employer.
