Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Cardiff on 27 July 2018 before Employment Judge Howden-Evans, recorded that there was no attendance by or on behalf of the respondent. The judge noted that the respondent had been notified of the hearing date twice, had filed a written response, and that reasonable enquiries had been made about its failure to attend. The claimant, Mr Craig Morris, gave evidence and was supported by Mr Egan.
The tribunal found that Mr Morris was a worker for the purposes of the Working Time Regulations 1998 and the Employment Rights Act 1996. It then upheld his claim for unpaid wages following unlawful deductions and ordered Mezmirizin Flooring Limited to pay £1,120.
The tribunal also upheld the claim relating to paid holiday leave, finding that the respondent had failed to allow the claimant to take paid holiday leave during the last two years. It ordered payment of £4,480 in respect of that claim, making a total award of £5,600.
The judgment provided that if the debt was not paid within 14 days, interest would accrue at 8% per annum on any unpaid amount under article 3(1) of the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990.

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
