The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) features interesting labour law related aspects. The goals of this article are to reconcile horizontal human rights and contract law in the context of reasonable accommodation in working life and to establish guidelines by which to assess the obligation to make accommodation, for example in relation to the EU Employment Equality Directive. This article utilises the framework of just social practice, which makes reference to welfarism in Nordic contract law. Just social practice creates a theoretical framework in which to investigate the rights and obligations attached to reasonable accommodation in working life, because it may be argued that its basic premises correspond to the ultimate justification of the accommodation rights provided for by the UNCRPD: the idea of social inclusion. The first part of the article seeks to identify common features between the UNCRPD and contract law. It sketches the theoretical framework of just social practice, in which contract law and human rights coincide within the context of employment. The second part of the article elaborates what the process of reasonable accommodation within the framework of just social practice constitutes and introduces specific steps that are followed when the right to accommodation is in question. The article also identifies the factors that have an influence on reasonableness evaluations as being either internal or external to the contractual relationship and exemplifies how contract law principles are to be applied when assessing reasonableness. The article argues that reconciliation of the goals of private law and human rights within the framework of just social practice makes it possible to argue that contract law principles can function as a tool for social inclusion.

关于为残疾雇员提供合理便利的义务

联合国残疾人权利公约 (UNCRPD) 以有趣的劳动法相关方面为特色。本文的目标是在工作生活中的合理便利的背景下协调横向人权和合同法,并制定准则以评估提供便利的义务,例如与欧盟就业平等指令有关。本文利用公正社会实践的框架,借鉴北欧合同法中的福利主义。公正的社会实践创造了一个理论框架,在该框架中调查与工作生活中的合理便利相关的权利和义务,因为可能会争辩说,其基本前提对应于 UNCRPD 规定的便利权利的最终理由:社会包容的想法。本文的第一部分试图确定 UNCRPD 和合同法之间的共同特征。它勾勒出公正社会实践的理论框架,其中合同法和人权在就业背景下是一致的。文章的第二部分阐述了公正社会实践框架内的合理通融过程的构成,并介绍了在通融权发生问题时应遵循的具体步骤。本文还确定了影响合理性评估的因素是合同关系内部的还是外部的,并举例说明了在评估合理性时如何应用合同法原则。
