Woman awarded £20k in indirect sex discrimination case against hotel
Anna Owens had agreed a fixed three-day working week at the Westville Hotel in Enniskillen that enabled her to balance her work with childcare. But she said she felt "betrayed and deflated" when the arrangements she had verbally agreed before starting work were changed by a new manager. An industrial tribunal found that this working pattern formed part of her contract of employment.
