The 5pm kick-off could see some people breaking the law
After securing a 1-0 win against Serbia, England are next due to take to the pitch on Thursday for their Euros 2024 match against Denmark. Kick off is at 5pm, meaning many may be sticking around in the office to watch the game with colleagues. But as bosses hope to let their employees enjoy the Euros over the next month, they may be forced to rethink their plans if they don’t have a valid TV licence in place.
If caught without one, then businesses could be liable under the law for a fine of £1,000. According to new survey data from Office Freedom, 1 in 4 currently work within an office in a co-working space. Shared office spaces may already have a TV licence to cover communal areas such as the kitchen or any seating areas, but individual offices must have their own licence in order to avoid breaching regulations in place.
A spokesperson for Office Freedom said: “With matches being played through afternoons and early evenings, we can imagine many businesses will be eager to allow staff to tune in to watch the action while they are at work.
