In the United States employers are not required by law to pay you for holidays regardless of what day of the week the holiday falls on. If your employer provides you with holiday pay you are receiving a benefit and not an entitlement. Therefore, if your employer chooses to pay you holiday pay, it is at their discretion when, how, and which holidays you will be paid for.

Is it mandatory for California employers to pay for holidays?

As of the date of this answer (6/25/09) there is no federal or California law that requires an employer to pay for any holiday. However, if your employee handbook states that you will receive paid holidays, then by law they must do what they promise. Keep in mind that most handbooks state that unless the holiday falls on a normal work day (lets say you work Monday - Friday), then it isn't covered. This year July 4th is on a weekend, and that would not be covered for most office jobs. Again refer to your handbook for clarification.

Is an employee who is paid salary entitled to public holiday pay?

In the United States private employers are not obligated to pay holiday pay to any employees, salaried or otherwise. Most choose to do so as a benefit, but as far as "entitlement" goes, no, the employee is not "entitled."


As we know holiday that fall on the weekends are genrally moved to friday or monday. but how do you pay when half the employees work on the observed holiday and the other half works monday through fri?

The question is not well phrased. If an hourly employee is required to work on a federal holiday, usually the employer is obliged to pay time-and-a-half. Workers on days that are not federal holidays get regular pay. If the actual holiday falls on a day that isn't the federally observed holiday (for example, the actual holiday falls on a Saturday, but the observed holiday is the following Monday, and a particular employee normally works on Saturdays), tough noogies, the employer is not required to pay a bonus to people who work on that holiday... only the official federal holiday counts. Also, salaried employees are usually expected to "work to the job, not to the clock." If you're on salary and it's necessary for you to work on a holiday, then you work on the holiday. You get no bonus pay for doing so; it's considered part of your job and your compensation is supposed to already take into account the fact that you may have to work overtime or holidays. (However, most employers who require salaried employees to work on holidays give them compensatory leave ... they get to take some other day off instead of having the holiday off).

I am on a salary but was deducted pay because of a holiday shouldn't I still receive my full salary pay check?

There is no federal law for private sector employees and very, very few state laws (Massachusetts being one of perhaps two examples) requiring employers to compensate you for days you have not worked such as holidays. If you worked on the holiday, you are entitled to your regular pay for that day. If you did not work on the holiday, it is at your employer's discretion whether to offer you the benefit of holiday pay. If company policy and practice offers holiday pay, you should have received it (unless you are still probationary), but again, this is not required by law.
