The Fair Labor Standards Act
(FLSA) does not require payment for vacations or
holidays (federal or otherwise). Holidays and vacations 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-OHara 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
(DBRA) apply, holiday pay and/or vacation pay is required for specific
classifications of workers as stated in the Davis-Bacon wage determination in the
covered contract. The Wage and Hour Division of the Employment Standards Administration administers and enforces the FLSA, the SCA, and the DBRA.
