Does an employer have an associational disability?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cochran v. Fremantlemedia N. Am., Inc., B247541 (Cal. App. 2014):
8. Two other types of associational disability arise when an employer fears expenses the employer may incur because of the disability of the person with whom the employee associates, or the employer fears the employee might acquire or develop that other person's disability. (Rope v. Auto-Chlor System of Washington, supra, 220 Cal.App.4th at p. 657.)
