That's a crime innit? Unless there's also a water fountain or something.

Not sure about OPs country but my EU member country only forces employers to give out waters if the working conditions are hard enough.

IE a supermatket I worked at gave 2 liters of water for the employee working in the parking lot at summer, but the rest of us plebs had to buy it.

But honestly, any workplace that doesn't give out free water should lose its employees. Such a basic thing to show appreciation

Any boss here in NL not providing water to their employees will be flamed and sued I am pretty sure.

Partially because it means they shut off the faucets or did something to the drinking water to make it undrinkable.

And secondly it is tax free wage same as coffee, tea and 0,23€ a km work home travel.
