The Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA) does not require payment for time not worked, such as vacations,
sick leave or federal or other holidays. These benefits are matters of
agreement between an employer and an employee (or the employee's
representative).
On a government
contract to which the labor standards of the
McNamara-O'Hara Service Contract Act
apply, holiday and/or vacation fringe benefit requirements are stated in the
SCA wage determinations in contracts that exceed $2,500.
On a government
contract to which the labor standards of the
Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (DBRA)
apply, holiday pay and/or vacation pay is required for specific classifications
of workers only if the Davis-Bacon wage determination in the covered contract
specifies such requirements for workers employed in those classifications.
