What it does
The Holiday Pay Act would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to require employers to pay employees who work on legal public holidays at a rate of at least one and one-half times their regular rate of pay. It defines legal public holidays as those specified in 5 U.S.C. § 6103(a) and applies to employees engaged in commerce or the production of goods for commerce. The bill also updates related provisions to include holiday pay in overtime calculations, enforcement mechanisms, exemptions, and interactions with state and local laws that may offer higher holiday pay requirements.
