This summer will be an exciting time for sports fans with the London 2012 Olympic Games and the European Football Championships.A lot of these events will be held during the ‘normal’ working day therefore employers may want to think about creative solutions to help balance work with their employee’s desire to watch sporting events.Employers do not have a legal obligation to cater for their employees sporting interests, however, it may help with staff morale if they decide to take actions such as introduce
flexible working, allow staff to swap shifts, give unpaid leave and provide access to TV, radio or the internet at work to allow sports fans to enjoy the events.
Major sporting events can cause employers issues such as not being able to give holidays to all staff, having to deal with increased sickness absence and potentially alcohol misuse.
It is always advisable for employers to have clear policies in place on how they will deal with these issues.If you would like further guidance on any of the areas mentioned in this blog post please feel free to give me a call (the first 30 minute consultation is free!) use the Contact Tab or call me on 07900 60 4551
