Holiday Pay Act

This bill would change the Fair Labor Standards Act so that employers covered by the law must pay employees at least one and a half times their regular pay rate for work done on a federal legal public holiday. Legal public holidays are defined as the federal holidays listed in federal law. Holiday premium pay would not count toward an employer's overtime pay obligations. Workers could recover unpaid holiday pay through the same enforcement and lawsuit process used for unpaid minimum wage and overtime. State or local laws that require higher holiday pay would still apply.
