It's Coming Home…. Potentially With Personal Liability For The Alleged Perpetrator

Euro 2020

The delayed Euro 2020 football tournament will kick off on the evening of 11 June 2021.

The competition is one of the most prestigious football tournaments in the world. Europe's elite footballing talent will compete over the course of the next month to be crowned the best European footballing nation.

The competition is likely to receive even more interest than normal as England, Scotland and Wales have all qualified. England and Scotland will go head-to-head on 18 June 2021.

For the next month, the subject of workplace conversations, like it or loathe it, will increasingly be football based. Sports punditry may be entirely innocent. However, sometimes light-hearted "banter" can spiral into something more. In this article we explore how employers and employees can enjoy the football and limit the risk of discrimination claims or potential disciplinary action.
