We advise any businesses using music in the workplace in any way to contact PRS for Music to discuss their requirement for a licence. PRS for Music will help you ensure that you have the right licence in place to lawfully perform and authorise the performance of our music in your premises. In certain limited cases, at our discretion, PRS for Music may assess that no licence fee is payable. Where music is used in the workplace by individual employees or workers solely by means of Personal Portable Devices (such as MP3 players) with headphones PRS for Music does not charge a licence fee. Any music must only be audible to the employee or worker to whom the Personal Portable Device belongs through a headset attached to that device and not to any other individual in the workplace.
