Is it a law to get time and a half on holidays?
Unlike most of the European Union, the United States has no federal law requiring private companies to pay for national holiday time off (by law, all employees in the EU also get a minimum of 28 paid vacation days). The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires an employer to pay its employees only for time worked.
What happens if your day off falls on a holiday?
Some supervisors say the Holiday moves while other supervisors say the employee’s regular day off moves. The rules basically are that if a holiday falls on an employee’s day off, then the day to be taken off, known as an ‘in lieu of day,’ is the day immediately before the employee’s day off on which the holiday falls.
Can holiday pay be included in hourly rate?
Holiday pay should be paid for the time when annual leave is taken. An employer cannot include an amount for holiday pay in the hourly rate (known as ‘rolled-up holiday pay’). If a current contract still includes rolled-up pay, it needs to be re-negotiated.
Is Holiday pay the same rate as normal pay?
Statutory holiday should be paid at the same rate as a normal working day. So, what about overtime payments? If it is normal working practice for an employee to work extra hours and receive additional pay, then this must be reflected in their holiday pay.
Is anything over 8 hours considered overtime?

Can an employer make you stay past your scheduled time?
There is nothing illegal about an employer requiring you to stay past your scheduled shift. However, if you are a non-exempt employee (entitled to overtime), you must be paid for this extra time.
