Spa manager at world famous golf course tried to sue after putting herself down to work for 10 days in a row

Sharon Anfield, the former spa manager at Carnoustie Golf Hotel & Spa, one of the world’s top-ranked golf courses, worked 10 consecutive days without informing her employer and later attempted to sue the hotel for constructive unfair dismissal. Anfield claimed the workload was unsustainable and led to her resignation, but the Dundee Employment Tribunal dismissed her case. The tribunal found that the hotel was unaware she had chosen to work those extra two days due to staffing shortages. Anfield had been responsible for managing her own schedule and was employed under a contract allowing up to 40 hours per week, including weekends if necessary. She had worked at the hotel since 2018 and held roles ranging from spa therapist to Spa Manager before resigning in late 2022.
