The Fair Labor Standards
Act (FLSA) does not require payment for time not worked, such as vacations
or holidays (federal or otherwise). These benefits are generally a matter 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
(SCA) 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 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.
