Actually nothing. The budget is set for salaries for the year and it includes days off.

it varies by state. in ny if you worked the scheduled day prior to the holiday and the scheduled day after the holiday and the workplace was closed or specifies for your job that it was a non working holiday, you get holiday pay. \nso say you worked saturday and monday and the place was closed easter sunday you are paid the holiday pay, this does not have to include any bonus money such as shift differentials only your base hourly pay.

Here is the NC Department of Labor's most frequently asked questions site.  If you scroll down to page 3 read under the heading "Does an employer have to give his employee vacation time off with pay?"  Although the heading is misleading your answer is in that paragraph. The site is under sources:\n\nIt states it must be paid at termination unless the employer has a written forfeiture clause that explains how the earned vacation can be taken away.

2006 Federal Holidays"\n\nMonday, January 2* New Year's Day. The main calendar of western civilization turns from one year to a next and federal employees get a day off\n\nMonday, January 16 Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. This day is celebrated some time near the ACTUAL day of MLKs birthday, but federal employees prefer three day weekends.\n\nMonday, February 20** Washington's Birthday. Again, this is not the actual birthday of our first president, but federal employees get a three day weekend\n\nMonday, May 29 Memorial Day. This is a three day weekend to remember dead people and for federal employees to get a day off\n\nTuesday, July 4 Independence Day. This day is known as the fourth of July, and so it is actually celebrated on the day of the 4th, and not the nearest Monday. It's a uniquely American fire holiday celebrating the United State's declaration of independence from the British Empire, and federal employees get a day off.\n\nMonday, September 4 Labor Day. Not to be confused with International Labor Day on May first, the anniversary of a huge labour riot in Chicago. The American Day is based on an arbitrary date, and federal employees get a three day weekend\n\nMonday, October 9 Columbus Day. A day celebrating Columbus discovering America and openning it up for European conquest, and federal emploees get a three day weekend\n\nFriday, November 10*** Veterans Day. Remember those who fought for America, and get a three day weekend\n\nThursday, November 23 Thanksgiving Day. This one often gets a 4 day weekend. This celebrates a time when Native Americans saved the early colonists from starving. If they had it to do over again, I wonder ...\n\nMonday, December 25 Christmas Day. This is the day which the ancient Pagans celebrated as the Winter Solstice when they celebrated the God of light. Early Christians then used the day to celebrate their God of Light,one of only two birthdays celebrated in Christendom, with John the Baptist on the old day of the Summer Solstice. All other saint days are death-days. This Pagan holiday is celebrated with the decorating of an evergreen tree and the exchanging of gifts for the children. (historically, it was celebrated with orgies by the adults, so the things you hear about happenning at Christmas parties have historical presedence)

Yes if it is a legal holiday.

No. The post office is a federal office so they have all federal holidays off as well as Sundays.

In 2001 the presidential salary increased to $400,000 plus $50,000 for expenses. Because the president’s official duties incur far more expenses than the expense budget can cover, agencies of the federal government often assume responsibility for presidential events.

I would completely expect full vacation pay, there is no doubt. I wasn't sure about New Mexico, but I found the below URL (search for 'vacation' on the page) which suggested no vacation pay?\n\nSo I'm not really sure but I hope the link helps somehow

no, unless the hours worked go over 40 hours.\nmost good companies though will pay double time for hours worked on a holiday. wage laws are for the most part set up by the federal government.
