It depends upon the terms of employment as established by the employer. There are no US laws that require a private employer to give paid vacation time. If the business is represented by a union, then issues concerning all employees would be covered in the union contract.

If you mean vacation, then what part- or full-time employees get is entirely up to the employer. No law requires paid time off. Vacation, like paid sick leave, is an unregulated gift from the employer.

Under US law, companies are not legally obligated to provide paid holidays period, not even to full time employees. If your employment contract says you'll receive paid vacation days and/or holidays, then they have to abide by that. If it doesn't, then they don't. Simple.

This doesn't mean a company cannot CHOOSE to give its workers, whether full time or part time, some amount of paid time off, just that they don't, legally speaking, HAVE to do so unless their contract with the worker (or, in the case of unions, with the worker's representative) says they will. And they can, if they want, give full time employees paid holidays but not give them to part time employees.

The one exception is that some government contractors are required by the terms of their contract with the government to provide paid time off for at least some employees who fall into certain categories.

No federal law guarantees any fringe benefits such as sick pay. However, I am not sure about every state law.

What paid leave are full time and part time staff entitled to?

By law, employees of any classification are typically not entitled to any paid leave. Massachusetts is a very rare example of a state that requires additional pay for holiday work on certain holidays under certain circumstances, but this is not paid leave. Certain government workers are provided by law with paid holidays and other benefits.However, in most cases, employees are not entitled to any paid leave. Such things are benefits and are left to the employer's discretion. In most cases, once the employer has set a policy, that policy takes on the force of law as far as a court is concerned.Qualified employees are entitled to unpaid leave in qualified situations under FMLA (12 unpaid weeks per year), for jury duty, and for military-related reasons.

Do American workers still get paid while on vacation?

Most Americans are paid during their vacations. That is certainly true for full time workers. Independent consultants or part time employees may not always receive paid vacations. An independent consultant receives funds for works on a project so "vacation time" is an independent thing. Part time employees frequently do not receive paid vacation time.


How many days paid holiday is a person who works a two-day week entitled to?

In the United States, employers are not required to pay holiday pay, or vacation time, to any employees. Holiday pay and vacation time are benefits, not something you are entitled to. When such paid time off is provided, it is usually only given to full-time employees. What classifies as "full-time" depends on the employer's definition unless local law stipulates otherwise. Full-time employees typically work between 32-40 hours per week. Someone who works only 2 days per week is likely part time and would likely not qualify even if their company offered paid time off.


Can you have different vacation policies for exempt versus non-exempt employees?

It is not a good policy to provide different benefits to different employees regardless of their employment status (exempt, non exempt, full time, part time). A good rule is to give vacation after a specific number of days had been worked.

Are you entitled to a lunch break if you worked an eight hour shift and is paid eight hour?

I'm not sure about legalities, but it is standard occupational practices to offer a 30 minute or 1 hour paid lunch break to full-time employees working 8 hour shifts. Part-time employees often get unpaid breaks, but they are still offered at least 30 minutes during an 8-hour shift. In addition, many employers volunteer additional 15-minute breaks depending on the type of work. --- Around about 8 or 9 pounds ?
