Almost three quarters of the UK HR directors surveyed believe employees are likely to call in sick or make an excuse for

skipping work the day after a major sporting event such as the Euro matches. More than a fifth consider it “very likely”.

In Germany, 79 per cent of German HR directors believe employees are likely to skip work. In France, the Euro 2016 host

nation, the proportion is 63 per cent.

Companies are not legally obliged to allow employees any time off to watch matches or to attend pre-game events.

Employment lawyers advise bosses that they should take unauthorised absences very seriously. Those who take leave during

this time could face extra scrutiny, including the need to present a medical note for sick leave and take part in a

return to work interview afterwards.

Chris Kisby, employment law partner at Shakespeare Martineau, said that employers are within their rights to ask staff to

take an alcohol test if they suspected people of returning to work drunk after a game.

He said employers may deal with inappropriate behaviour, including employees making slurs against other nationalities, by

using grievance and disciplinary procedures.

“Euro 2016 is not an excuse for inappropriate behaviour. Investigations should be undertaken and where appropriate

disciplinary action should be taken,” Mr Kisby said.

But that doesn’t have to be the case. Many companies are embracing Euro 2016 as an opportunity to engage and motivate

employees.

Some bosses have recognised that hosting company viewings around big sporting spectacles, such as the European

championship, can deliver benefits.

Research by the Institute of Leadership and Management has revealed that 77 per cent of employees think that screening

the Euro matches in the office would boost morale, while 30 per cent said it would improve productivity.

Phil Sheridan, UK senior managing director of Robert Half UK, said that employers who plan ahead and incorporate the

matches into their company events calendar will see an increase in employee morale and job satisfaction.

“Activities to consider include flexible work schedules, remote working and late starts to balance work priorities with

national pride over the course of the tournament,” Mr Sheridan said.






England will look to bounce back from Saturday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Russia when they take on Wales in UEFA Euro

2016 on Thursday at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens, France.

The Welsh, meanwhile, will head into the game on the back of a 2-1 win over Slovakia, knowing a further victory will

virtually guarantee a place in the knockout phase.

With UK bragging rights also at stake, the game takes on added significance for both sides and should be a thrilling

contest.

Read on for a preview of the Group B match, but first here are the viewing details you need to catch the game, the latest

odds and a form guide for both teams.



Both England and Wales put in largely excellent performances in their opening group matches, which bodes well for an

exciting fixture here.

The Three Lions provided arguably their best showing at an international tournament in recent memory, creating numerous

chances and looking solid at the back until Vasili Berezutski's last-minute equaliser brought them back to reality.

One notable exception was Harry Kane, who struggled to replicate the form he's shown for England in the past or in the

domestic season with Tottenham

 Hotspur.


England manager Roy Hodgson is likely to give the striker another chance to shine on Thursday, but with Jamie Vardy,

Daniel Sturridge and Marcus Rashford waiting in the wings, it's a chance Kane needs to capitalise on if he's to justify

his place in the team.

Inexplicably, the 22-year-old took England's corners against Russia—a tactic that was as puzzling as it was ineffective,

per football writer Iain Macintosh and former Three Lions captain Alan Shearer:




The Three Lions will be looking to rebound from a 1-1 draw with Russia in their group-stage opening match when they hit

the pitch as -130 chalk in Thursday's matchup at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.

England entered this year's edition of the Euro amid high expectations, riding a perfect 10-0-0 record in Euro 2016

qualifying and three straight victories in pre-tournament friendlies to the top of the odds to win Group B.

But England proved to be a major disappointment in their match with Russia, dominating for stretches. But they were

ultimately forced to settle for a single point after allowing the tying goal during injury time and failing to reward

bettors as -115 favorites.

The English have dominated Wales in recent meetings, winning four straight, and have suffered just three losses to the

Dragons in 35 clashes since 1956.

A history of futility in meetings with England is not lost on this Wales squad, which would enjoy nothing more than to

push the English to the brink of elimination.

Wales made a splash in their first major tournament appearance since the 1958 FIFA World Cup, outshooting Slovakia in a

2-1 win to pay out as narrow +180 favorites.

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale leads the Dragons, who suffered just one defeat en route to a second-place finish in Euro

2016 qualifying. However, they had struggled since sewing up a tournament berth, posting just one win in seven matches

immediately preceding the tournament.

And more than just a knockout-stage berth is on the line for the Welsh, who have battled the Three Lions 101 times since

1879 and would spark a celebration on the streets of Cardiff with a win.

While the Dragons maintain long +350 odds of earning their first win over England since 1984, a victory would certainly

boost their already-buoyant chances of finishing atop Group B and earn them an advantageous round of 16 matchup with a

club finishing third in group-stage action.
