Holiday Pay Act

This bill would change the Fair Labor Standards Act so that covered employers must pay employees at least one and one-half times their regular rate for work done on federal legal public holidays. Legal public holidays are defined as the federal holidays listed in federal law. Employees who are not paid this holiday rate could recover the unpaid amount through the same enforcement and lawsuit process used for unpaid minimum wages and overtime. Higher holiday pay required by other federal, state, or local laws would still apply.
