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.

Do employers have to pay you holiday pay if it falls on a weekend?

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.

Yes, if these exams were part of training, you must be paid for it. Your employer is required to pay you for all mandatory training and meetings. Optional meetings are different, but the do have to pay you if it's mandatory. If you're having trouble at work you should think about unionizing.
