  • There is no law that non-exempt employees have to be paid holiday pay whether they work the day before the holiday, after the holiday, or both. Exempt employees must be paid their full salary regardless of holidays unless they do not work at all the entire week. However, law or no law, an employer that does not pay for major holidays may soon find himself without any employees.
