State Supreme Court: Employers Not Liable for 'Take-Home' COVID Cases

California employers cannot be held liable for the spread of COVID-19 cases by employees who contracted the disease on the job and spread it in their household, the California Supreme Court held on July 6.

In its unanimous decision, the court said that saddling employers with the duty of care beyond the workplace would impose a significant burden on California businesses, the court system and “the community at large.”

The decision should put employers at ease, since during oral arguments the justices raised concerns about an “avalanche” of lawsuits should employers be held liable for these so-called “take-home” COVID cases. State Supreme Court: Employers Not Liable for ‘Take-Home’ COVID Cases:
