We\u2019re going to be closed next Monday for Labor Day. We have some full-time employees and some part-time employees. Do I have to pay employees for holidays? Answer: There is no requirement in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for employers to pay employees for holidays not worked or to pay them a higher rate if they do work. Most employers do pay holiday pay to their full-time employees. Among part-time employees, some employers pay a full day\u2019s pay, some pay according to the employee\u2019s work schedule or other allocation method, and some do not pay part-time employees for holidays. Most public sector and union employees have holiday pay negotiated into their contracts.<\/p>\n<p>State laws may provide rules that are more beneficial to the employee and must be followed.
