Our company stays open on certain federal holidays such as Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day. We pay our employees regular pay for these days. It is stated in our employee handbook what holidays we observe. We are located in New York State. Are we doing the right thing as far as pay on these holidays? Are there any rules for such holidays? Thanks for your help.

    If your question has to do with whether you have to pay double time or time + 1/2 if an employee works on the holidays you mentioned, the answer is no. The holidays you mentioned are given as paid time off to some employees by some companies, but certainly not all employees or all companies. Unless your Employee Handbook states that you will pay extra for working on the holidays you mentioned, you don't have have to. I hope this helps.
